Has anyone tried the extended links for the front swaybar on a G/J IV?
Instead of buying a thicker or replacing the bar all together, has anyone given the extended links a try?

i don't think the extensions are to stiffen up the but are designed to keep it from hitting the control arms as the car gets lower. if you want stiffer, you need bigger.

Right, they wouldn't be to stiffen the front up. Just move the bar a little more out of the way.

I don't think you would or should use these as "extenders". When the suspension is lowered, the lower A-arms are actually closer to the swaybar ends. Therefore, you would shorten the endlinks to maintain the same swaybar geometry. If the car is lowered and the links are as long or longer, then you will likely rub the halfshaft at the bar/endlink joint. Please let me know if I am wrong here, because this is my plan when I drop mine this spring.
