Default big lift endlinks?
01 Ram 1500 with 14" susp. lift eats stab bar endlinks for breakfast. Anyone know of a brand of endlinks that can handle a big lift? I've only been able to find them for 6" or less lift. Thanks!

With that much lift, I would just skip the stabilizer completely. Not sure that it is doing much....

You have drop brackets for the bar?

The stabilizer bar is custom to work with the lift. Has drop brackets, and a stab box, and a dual stabilizer kit. I just bought it so I'm still trying to figure out the setup. Seems kind of redundant. Need a picture maybe.

Lift is skyjacker

Ok, here's the beast as I bought it. Was 17" of lift on 39.5 swampers, but I pulled the spacers, and put on new 38" Toyos and HMT Fuel wheels. Now trying to fix some suspension issues...

Here's the endlink I need to replace. The one on the pass. side is MIA.
Or am I being an idiot, and calling this something it is not? lol

Can I just pull it, or do I need to replace it with something?

What are you using (if anything) to help with control? BTW, I was lurking on your lift build thread the other day. Very nice! The leaf springs you put in have a nasty bend.
