Rear Sway Bar Links - How do I determine the right length?
When I installed my 2" lift a couple years ago, I replaced the front sway bar links with new, adjustable ones so the front sway bar arms sat horizontal to the ground. I replaced the rear sway bar links with the longer OEM front links. The arms of the rear sway bar, however, point down at about a 12 degree angle. What angle, if any, should the rear sway bar arm sit at?
I'm getting ready to replace my 2" coil springs with a set of 3.5" so I need to know how long the rear sway bar links will need to be.
Thanks.

The rears should be +/- 5 degrees from horizontal if my memory is correct. I replaced my rears with JKS adjustable links a few months back. You need to cut them to the right length but it's easy and the instructions are great.

What really matters is that your links are long enough that at full droop, they aren't at risk of being fully extended and flipping.
Or, spare yourself the pain and remove the rear sway bar.
