OK guys I installed the new adjustable rear sway bar end links this morning.
The only thing I did not anticipate is the hole on the sway bar is 12MM and needs to be drilled out to 1/2". That is only 3 hundredths of an inch so it was no problem and I did it on the truck with a hand drill about 2 minutes on each side.
Here is a picture of the new end links compared to the old:
Here are two pictures showing this mis alignment that happens when you lower your truck. The sway bay should be parallel to the ground to function properly.

Here are two pictures of the new end link installed and the bar parallel with the ground:

And finally here is a picture of the installed polyurethane bushings with clamp:

I am thinking about making two changes to the setup that you see here. One is to change the aluminum rod tube to 304 S/S Welded Round Tube and the other is to change the sway bar mounting nuts from washers and locknuts to serrated flange nuts. Other than that they look and fit great!
If you are interested in a set, I have commissioned them to build 15 sets. They will be completed by next Friday.
The cost is $89.95 per set. Add $20 per set if you would like a set of polyurethane mounting bushings with new mounting clamps to mount to the rear axle.
To anyone that wants these you can send a paypal payment to me at [email protected] just state in it if you want the poly bushings or not and if your truck is lowered 2" or 3" or ??"
Please add 10.50 for shipping in the lower 48 and $3.00 to cover the paypal charge.
The total for the end links only would be $103.45
The total for the endlinks with bushings would be $123.45
Or you can send me a check or money order without the paypal fee. My mailing address is:

If paying by mail be sure to shoot me an email so I can hold a set for you. Also be shure to give me your shipping address.
If you have any questions please ask. I should have the first round of front end links done in two weeks but I can only do four sets of them at a time due to the core situation and turn around time. If you want to send me your front end links to modify the turn around time will be greatly reduced.
Thanks-john
