So I've been looking online and can't find a real answer. I'm going to do a 2.5 lift and I'm gathering all the parts I need. That being said I've got the rear track bar bracket, coils and shocks, now I'm wondering if I need to change out the sway bar links. Do I or do I not need sway bar links, if so do I leave the rear alone and buy some for the front and call it a day? Any help would be great I've been breaking my head for a while.

Most of the 2.5 lifts come with new rear swaybar links. You can then move the stock rears to the front or get a set of quick disconnects like what jks offers

With the sway bar links from the rear coming up to the front what size sway bar links would I need, are they labeled 2.5 or do they go by inches. Sorry with all the questions I'm just trying to get all the info I can with this.

Most should be labeled for what size lift they fit in the description.

JKS makes nice sway bar disconnects that are also adjustable. They are also sold for the lift range you will need.

I have stock rear links on my 2.5 inch lift with teracrap quick disconnects that I had to mod to get them to work properly.. then I bought pro comp front break line brackets to give me some extra break line up front when disconnected.

Actually, all you really need for 2.5" of lift are coil spacers, new longer sway bar links, move the factory rear links to the front, rear brake line extension brackets, bump stop extensions and shock extensions. You can save quite a bit of money by going this route and you won't have to address your front drive shaft.

The 2.5" Rock Krawler Flex kit doesn't come with rear sway bar links just as an FYI. They used to, and I was actually confused when they didn't so I called Krawl Off-Road (where I got it from) when my kit got here, and they said to keep the price lower RK was excluding the rear sway links now. The stock rear sways ended up fitting so I didn't think much of it :idontknow:
