Is it correct, when installing adjustable swaybar links in the rear, to move the stock rear links to the front? I've heard they're longer, and will thus provide some (marginal) benefit if you put the rears up front. Thanks, folks.

Depends on the lift height. (didn't see a lift in your sig) With most mild lifts, it is common to move the rears up front to keep the swaybar parallel to the ground. If you don't have a lift, putting the longer rears up front may have the bar pointing to far up.

In my experience, most small lifts come with new rear links, and you move the stock rear links to the front, since they are longer, which is needed after a lift. If you have a lift that did not come with new rear links, either you don't need them because the lift isn't significant enough, or the lift simply didn't come with them (which I doubt is the case).
If you are installing adjustable quick disconnects, you will want them in the front since you really should not disconnect your rear sway bar. In that case, you should leave the stock ones on the rear.

No problem. Your lift kit will probably come with new rear links. Just put your JKS links on the front and the new ones on the back. You will need to adjust your front links so that the sway bar sits level.
