Default Sway bar link options? Lift w/ factory wheels

Are there any longer sway bar links for a 2.5 inch lift that will work with the factory wheels? Does anyone sell brackets like the AEV brackets that extend the OEM links? That seems to be the only reason some kits won't work with factory wheels. Just looking for some to go with my lift until I wear out the stock tires.

I think you are confusing the control arms and sway bar links. The AEV brackets are for the control arms.

To solve your problem, if you go with a small lift you can still use the factory sway bar links without a problem!

AEV has brackets to extend the stock sway bar links in their 2 and 2.5" kit.

I am not impressed with the sway bar link extender brackets that came in my AEV lift. I ended up using a set of stock rear sway bar links and they are the right length.

I think the problem you are talking about is contact from having the swaybar links on the outside of the swaybar? If so, many people have just moved the links to the inside.
