Ok, I have 2-1/2" spacers on the front of my 2008 V8 4x4, and now my truck seems to eat end links. It's no great shock why, but I would like to see about fixing this. The easiest way seems to be just get end links that are about an inch or so longer than stock, but unlike shocks, I am having some trouble finding a useable cross reference. I have found a ton of shortened ones for lowered trucks, but maybe I am not searching the right part numbers or terms because I see nothing longer. I am to the point of getting a set of MOOG's, cutting the end off and welding on an extension. Help?

 

sounds like u already have the best solution. I would do that, by the time you find and pay for and aftermarket that someone has already done what you are thinking the cost would be the same if not more......take measurements, pull them off, have them made and reinstall...just my opinion.

 

Hmm...who's links have you been going through? Before I removed my sway bar, I ran the same links for close to 70k while running a leveling kit. I would not weld them. I would make your own with spherical bearing ends.

Like these, but with the u- brackets on both ends.

 

Factory Dodge links...

 

I went through two OEM sets and was on my third, by 40k mi. I was leveled too.

I like the idea of making some with sexy hardware. I like not having a sway bar more though.

 

Make you some. When I lifted my Grand Cherokee 3" I took a stock set, cut the end off, welded in a section of same diameter solid pipe and welded the end back on. Took 30 mins...
