didn't find anything there

 

3 3/8" Energy Suspension, part # 9-8119. They are available in every parts store I have been to. If the precise size is not in stock, have them ordered.

Also available online at www.jegs.com

 

Endlink part numbers for the front:

I am glad that Probleminfected asked that question. I have been reading threads for a year about lowering. Everyone just slaps in lowering shackles and front springs, usually in their driveway and no one even mentions sway bar links. I have read captianoblivious's site (have it under Favorites) but still don't really understand. If the front is lowered 1", then should you install 3 3/8" links? What about the back with a 2" drop? captianoblivious speaks about cutting and rewelding. Do most people who do a 1"/2" drop just ignore the links? I would really like to lower the truck, but until i understand this, I'm just lurking. Thanks

 

I just installed a roush overall 3-4.5" drop on the L. I had previously cut the rear sway bar end links down by 2" for just drop shackels. I put 2 5/8" Energy Suspension end links on the front , bought at Pep Boys....they had an assortment.

 

They have adjustible rear ones, you'd have to call.

 

I did my 1/2 drop in my driveway.
You can drive forever and not do anything and it will still drive and corner, just not as well (or optimum).From what I have read on the boards, the anti-sway bar works its best at parallel to the ground.It will still work(just not as well when not parallel).
I cut and welded mine.

 

well they aren't energy suspension, but i found some at shucks.

funny people are real fing stupid at part stores.

ride feel a hell of alot better, even better then stock.

thanks though guys.

i still need rear endlinks for the shackles, i don't have access to a welder. though i think the body shop at work might let me use theirs, but i've only used a welder once.

 

I have a Hotchkis suspension, so I used the front and rear endlinks supplied. However, the rear bars were still nowhere near level. Now, I do not remember whether they were level stock. However, I installed the So-Cal adjustable links in new holes higher up on the frame. The stock frame hole is about halfway up the new links.





Wow! Handling is much crisper. The high-speed oversteer (kind of a wandering feeling at very high speeds) is reduced and the turn-in and low-speed handling is massively improved. My truck absolutely tears up a 20 MPH city street turn. Taking it to the track next weekend for some at-the-limit evaluation.

p.s. - before anyone comments, I replaced the bump stops.

 

 

PI:

Throw me an e-mail. I've got some extra stock rear endlinks and I'm pretty sure I know a shop who would whack wahtever out of them for you.
