Does anyone have pics of Eibach front swaybar installed, i need to see how Eibach ends sits on corners with end links attached. For some reason my sits on angle. I called Eibach and they said it will be angle and Eibach logo on the back have ti be right side up. Here how mine sits. Btw i do have 2" drop spindles and Moog end links but that will not change angle of lower control arm

I don’t have the Eibach sway bars, but I did install the Hotchkis #2292 front and rear sway bar kit on my ‘15 Yukon XL Denali. The Hotchkis kit came with new front end links that were a shorter than OEM.

From the pics you’ve posted I think if you can find some shorter end links it would fix your swaybar postion.

That flat piece “flange” on the swaybar that has the hole in it for the endlink to go through. You want that to be as parallel to the ground as you can get.

From the looks of your pics I bet you could shorten your endlink be at least 1”-1-1/2”. Easiest way to measure would be to disconnect the bar from your endlinks, leave the bar in the other 2 mounts, but loosen them up enough so you can rotate the bar. Rotate the bar until the swaybar endlink “flange” is parallel to the ground. Then measure where it hits on your endlink and that’s how much shorter of an endlink you need to get.

Energy suspension offers various length endlinks that are OEM style with polyurethane bushings.

This link here describes the measuring process also and has a variety of different length endlinks:

the mevotech ttx will work or the autozone duralast heavy duty they are both pretty much the same except the mevo is green and the duralast is white
you can cut the sleeve to make the sway bar height wherever you want. the entire bolt is threaded, the cheapy re-pops do not have enough bolt thread to shorten it.
note the mevotech from rockauto only includes (1) so you have to order 2

I was thinkin going to local handy store and see if they have shorter bolt and shorten Mook sleeve. But i think if i lower Eibach ends, middle of swaybar my may hit whatever is close to it. I still think i have to flip swaybar

So which one bolt is threaded, mevotech or duralast ?
AutoZone have 3 different duralast end links, one with white bushings, one with black and one that looks like OEM end links

the white bushing duralast is the same design as the mevotech I thought they both had a full thread bolt but the nut part is plenty long enough to shorten it up as much as needed

Lowering your truck DOES change how the sway bar sits, as the distance between your truck's frame and the lower control arm has changed.

As folks above suggested, you need to shorten the sway bar end links to the point where the sway bar is level to the ground.
