    Good Evening,

    New to the site but love what I'm seeing. I have a new lift on my gen 1, 06.

    lift is 4.5 tuff country and I'm looking for sway bar ends for my new sway bars. Any ideas on brands that are better than others. Just starting out and could definitely use the help.

    New shoes 285/65/R18 GY Duratrac go one this weekend and I'm looking to get her buttoned-up for now.

    Thanks in advance.

    I use SuspenionMaxx. A little more expensive, but very hefty compared to the others I looked at.

    Not expensive you can find them on eBay for 90 bucks shipped. Much better then what Toyota wanted for there stock crap parts which were 180.

    When you consider there are options for $30-40 then they can seem expensive. I went with the SuspensionMaxx though.

    I've looked at several different brands but I can't find it in the description where it would say but they are good for a four and a half inch lift. and then I also can't find ones that say they are for a Toyota pickup does that meanit is a paint & Hammer to fit type thing where I'm going to have to do some type of altercation to get them to work?.
    By the way thanks to everybody who's giving me recommendations although I still have questions it's definitely helping out a lot!!

    what a great group I can't wait to get into the rest of my truck and have help from guys who have already done it thanks again

    Rancho Quicklift/RS9000XLs, Rancho rear 1.5" blocks with RS9000XL shocks in rear, SuspensionMAXX extended sway bar links.
    Yeah the extended SuspensionMaxx ones are for a 2-3" lift. You should probably just call over to see if they've received any feedback on anything taller.

    Or you could do a combination of the extended links and a drop bracket for the sway bar itself (though it may have to be custom and would reduce ground clearance at the bar).

    Does that 4.5 lift come with special links or with swaybar relocation plates? Some lifts come with brackets that lower the mounting point at the frame, others have brackets that shift the swaybar further forward to change angle and compensate.

    If the answer is no, maybe you don't need a special length. You could try contacting @Toytec Lifts to see if they know a solution. I want to say FJ cruisers use a bracket like this.

    This is all great info guys I didn't realize they were be that difficult to figure out which links I need that sounds like I got some more digging to do. Sway bars are already shipped so I definitely got to find these here pretty quick.

    Thanks again guys and have a great day!!!

    My 6 inch rcd lift comes with sway bar relocation brackets. You might be able to connect rcd to see if you can just buy the 2 brackets. http://racecardynamics.com
    You can also just make your own end links to what ever langth you need. I made my own links with quick disconnect for under 100$. After I had all the parts it only took like 3hr to make and install.

    They're probably not the most professional thing in the world but they work great.
