Sway Bar Links After Spacers -Options/Pics

[Screwd up 6]

So after I lifted my tahoe I noticed the steering was sloppy particularly in the rear. The way i would describe it as "whipping". The back end whipped back and forth similar to a snake when making any movements at speeds over 50mph. After looking at the sway bar links I noticed they were at a horrible angle. I started to research tahoe sway bar links and noticed they were the same as jeep wrangler (JK). After taking measurements and contacting warrior products I confirmed the JK 3" sway bar links were the solution. The handling is much better. Pics and angles are below:

Bought them from Morris4x4 for $50 shipped. Looked up 5% coupon code online. Part number was WAR800039

Thanks for the info!

i was looking at 2 to a 2.5 on the rear i wonder how much longer my links will need to be

 

[Screwd up 6]

I think these would still work with 2" spacer but after that I would look into another option.

Ordered a set today for my Kon, what bolts did you have to use to install the longer links? I plan on using stainless steel and maybe a lock nut.

For the upper bolt I used the stock one, and the kit comes with ones for the lower. Let me know if it makes a good difference on yours as well. I saw a night and day difference in handling.

01Konvict, did you get yours installed?

 

[01Konvict]

Havent received them yet, I was told there out of stock and being drop shipped so it will be a few more days til they show up. I should have them installed next week.

Mine were the same, shipped directly from the mfg. I still got them fairly quick tho.

On this topic have y'all looked at the front and whether this would benefit anything up there? And for guys looking for some longer ones as I've got 3 inch spacers in the rear I'm getting these, cheaper too http://www.extremeterrain.com/zone-offroad-products-zone-jk-zonj5400.html

 

[01Konvict]

Yea there are benefits for the front but havent had time to find one that fits thats longer. The longer ones from Zone offroad will work fine for the taller 3" spacers. The price is roughly the same for either kit.

 

[Mr.Jack]

Mine are also being drop shipped.

Btw, ordering those sway bars did I find out by accident here at the forum. It never crossed my mind I would need them.
Just to be on the safe side; Will I need anything else?
I am waiting for my mechanic to get back home from vacation so he can install new keys, 2" spacers and Bilsteins 5100. Parts already arrived from the US.

 

[01Konvict]

Bobas, no all of these parts are fine for a 2" lift kit. Get ready for bigger tires and a tough stance.

 

[DirtyBlackHoe]

Will these also work fine for my 2005 Z71 Tahoe with 1" - 1.5" spacers in the rear?

I also changed front and back links ,extended tj links in the rear and extended cognito links in the front,when I installed my spacers and 2 1/2 keys .05 Tahoe drives like a cadillac.

I think it is just as important to change the front sway links when cranking your keys ,just as the rear ,I used cognito for the front.
