Hello dodgers. So iu put a 2.5 leveling kit the other day and all kinds of things started going. Ujoints, bushings, so i need new sway bar links to start off. Being that its 2.5" higher idk what links to get? Rock auto an dautozone have different sizes but im new to my truck so im stumped. Can someone provide me a link or what proper size links i need? Not trying to break the bank neither

I'd look for some drop brackets and go from there. 2.5 is not a huge amount once you get over 3 you really wanna look for different ends.

I wouldnt worry about dropping anything at 2.5". Youll be fine without. Nowadays I generally just recommend going to the parts store and getting something with a life time warranty.

It is doable
If your links are OK I would run them till they wear out
The level will accelerate the wear

Sway bar drop brackets are an option as well

Best way to put it. Most dont really worry about it though.

chances are your front end components were already worn before the level. at 2.5" its not gonna wear that quick just because of the level. Ive seen people say they've had problems and some have run theirs with no problem for years. Just depends on truck and how you use it.
