Factory Anti-Sway Bar end links with 6 inch lift - NOT a good idea

In less than a months, this is the end result of using factory end links on a 2023 TRD Off-Road Tundra with the 6" Superlift kit #1026. The lift doesn't come with end links, but I highly suggest an upgrade. I had not even taken the truck off road yet! I replaced them with Dobinson adjustable end links. We'll see how they do....

 

Hopefully the adjustable ones can add an extra 6" of length, which I kind of doubt...

 

Or just remove the sway bar depending on the front coil spring rate.

 

lift the center of gravity of the truck up 6” and remove the sway bar

 

Hey race trucks do it haha. Might be fun

 

If you want to keep the swaybar, you could always extend the length of stock links by 6”....which might be 4” in real life.

 

They are supposed to accomodate up to a 4" lift, which is better than accommodating for no lift. I paid $200 for Dobinson end links. There are indeed options for a 6" lift, but he'll will freeze before I spend $700 or more on end links! Companies have lost their minds!

 

$700 for some extended end links?!?! In a pig's eye! Get a buddy with a welder to cut and sleeve some factory ones to extend some factory units, or the new ones you've got. Heck, mail them to me and I'll cut and sleeve them for you just because. I did that in high school metal shop with my old bronco sway bar links. I can't say I knew what I was doing then but they worked until the day I sold... no, wait, I think I power slid that one in to a ditch one frigid icy night and then got chased by a mountain lion running hom... but I'm pretty sure I reused the links on the new bronco carcass I procured for the running gear that wasn't smashed up, and the links survived until the day I sold THAT ONE.

 

Thank you for the offer, but I'm pretty sure sleeving factory end links is what Dobinson did. So far they are working great.

Also, I am glad to see someone else just blown away by the $700 cost of something simple as end links! My entire 6" lift kit was only $1250.00, albeit I found it at an unbelievable price. Regular price is $1600.00 for the lift kit. But to think of 2 end links being about half the cost of an entire lift kit is madness! I would be inclined to just remove the anti-sway bar completely before I paid that. Below is a link to those diamond encrusted end links. (I assume that they are obviously made out of 18k gold and engraved with diamonds. Why else would they be so expensive?! )

I found even better! $1,000.00 for front and rear end links!

The ones I saw were $700.00 for only the rear!

 

Just fyi, those are suspension control arms you linked. Their end links are still expensive but not $700. More like $330. Still really expensive but just saying....(no affiliation, just like researching Tundra options)

I wish I would have seen this! I googled EVERYTHING I could and didn't see these! If those Dobinsons take a crap on me, I'll be going back with these. Thank you!
