Exclamation stabilizer link broke? (LOOK @ PIC)

My stabilizer link broke, I think that's what its called. When I went to NAPA to see if they had one, they said it was a sway bar repair kit that I needed that came with the link and nuts. So I'm guessing the sway bar is the stabilizer bar? That confused me. The part has broken before but it happened a long time ago when I was more of a novice about suspension. Check this out.

What is that part called? I need to get it replaced asap!

I have a 2wd 6" lift also but iIordered the 5451374, which is the 2wd one. Should I get the longer one(s) instead?

Thats what i was going to order . But with my 2" AS on top of my Fab. 6" The angle was to much. These aren`t like your other links (Vertical bolt ons ) These are a horizontal bolt on. So I got the longer ones . So now the angle is pretty even. It`s been about 4 months now and no issues.

If you don`t plan on adding more lift stay with the the 2x4 link
