Dropped XL Update, Broken Links

[LADenali]

Like the title says, after driving around on my 4/6 drop one of the JDM end links for the rear sway bar broke. I've removed the sway bar and am driving around without it. Rear end feels funny.

Anyways, I've decided to buy the Hellwig Sway Bar kit (P/N 7853) to see if this fits better. Also considering going to the 5305 springs in the rear and stock springs in the front to raise the ride a bit. The low drop combined with thin tire sidewall is making the ride very rough.

Hi Tony, unfortunately I don't have a picture handy. I saw the install while at the shop, and the sway bar was centered with the links straight.

no its not that. Can you take a pic of the rear driver side bracket on axle. Sounds like they didnt do install right.

Like they didn't move the sway bar over, so it was putting sideways pressure on the link... That makes sense if that were the reason it broke...
