The answer depends on your set up. If you are running a lift with the factory shocks without extentions there is no benifit to running longer sway bar links. Your sway bar will basiclly perform the same with factory links or 2.5" extended links.
Running longer travel shocks or shock extentions will allow your axle to droop farther and if are running too short a sway bar link, it will limit your down travel and have the potential to flip your track bar. I have never seen a rear track bar flip, I would think it would be due to the sway bar link hitting the brake caliper but I have seen it happen plenty of times on the front sway bar.
