Default Stock sway bar links with 2.5" lift?

Had to go the cheap route for now and got the RC 2.5" lift that comes with pucks & extended shock mounts. How does it work adding 2.5" of lift and keeping the factory swaybar links?

The rear sway bar links are fine.. You can stay with the fronts being short, but the angle of your sway bar will be off. I have a friend who runs the stock links with a 2.5" lift with no issues. Just make sure you disconnect them on the trail. I've seen them flip and get stuck in the steering components because they were not disco'd...

You should at the very least get some jks quick discos for the front or a cheap way would be to find someones old rear links and stick them up front. . I've seen the short front stockers flip going over speed bumps. As BF said the rears should be fine, they may be at a less than perfect angle, but they are less prone to flipping.
You'll be glad you got the quick discos when you hit a trail, well worth the $.
