Maybe you should start by reading the Mopar installation instructions of how those links are suppose to get installed before you start calling "nonsense".

There's still absolutely no need to mount them that way. I don't need to read Mopar instructions to know how to mount a sway bar link

You should go and tell that to the others who mounted them the other way and had problems. I'll let them know the expert is on his way to solve all their problems.

Went with the mopar lift. Installed it yesterday. Still running duratrac 33 for now. Haven't measured yet but I definitely got more than 2 inches.

Most have been getting around 3 1/4" in the front and 2 3/4" in the rear.

Oh word? Link me, I'll be happy to.

It's a sway bar link. How are you going to have problems mounting them outboard with the bolts facing in? Please do enlighten me. Looks like you have less clearance running them inboard; but hey, you said it yourself...don't need to articulate the suspension at the mall anyways.

Don't know about these but on some swaybars links the bolt sticking inboard too far will make the bolt grab the brake line when that wheel stuffs. I've had some issues with this had to make a very low profile swaybar link mount to not have issues with the bolt end rubbing the frame. And I had to relocate my brake lines to above the frame.

That is one of the associated problems. The other is that the top Sway bar bolt hits the frame when flexed when the links are put in the same orientation as the stock position.

I like your signature, it seems really fitting.
