KRZ Pivoting Sway Bar End links

KRZ Pivoting Sway Bar End links:

Are these necassary for side to side? I just got some new oem ones and I was wondering if I am going to start breaking them down the road? Also can I use them with my Air ride Tech a-arms or am I going to have to custom make my own links?

There is no problem using stock ones on your truck. The reason I see a lot of them bend and break on s to s action is most people tighten the dang things too much. If the bushings are already crushed a a horiz. level than they will just bend and break on s to s positions.

Eventually, you will break end-links. You don't necessarily need to spend X amount of dollars on KRZ ones, but if you hit side-to-side a lot, the stress will eventually break one.

That being said, KRZ is one of the best shops in the country and all of their stuff is nothing but top-notch.

That is where I was going....you can get them but you don't need them.

I had a guy tell me once that it is better to use a non grade 8 bolt for the links. He said that grade 8's are stronger, but they will not bend like a lower grade. Since they dont bend they snap. The bending will allow the stress to be obsorbed a bit. I used to have problems with mine on a static 5/7 drop, but never broke another one after downgrading the bolt. Just a thought, havent sent it to the lab for testing.
