    Out of curiosity how hard are the pins supposed to be to remove? My mech had a heck of a time getting them in on a lift, and I haven’t even pulled them out off-road yet. I’ve pulled on them though and they seem kind of tight.

    I sent this to you in a Pm, last minute decided to share it here, if anyone else had any questions

    the pin that holds the link to your lower control arm shouldn't be super hard to remove. I say "super hard" because there is some difficulty getting your hand into the spot to grab the pin.(your mechanic needs to adjust the nut, it takes some time to get it just right.) the pin that holds the sway bar to the link should be difficult to remove. There should be some pre-load on the sway bar. I keep a big screw driver(you could use a small pry bar) to put the preload on the sway bar, and i use the same tool to remove the pins. Depending on what side you start with, one side you don't need to use a screw driver to apply the pre-load, but the other side you will need to use the screw driver to push down the sway bar(pre-load) so you can put the pin on.

    Im going to put this info on the thread, so if theres others who may have the same question.

    OP, if you don’t wish to have this post on your thread, feel free to let me know.

    I ended up deleting my sway bar completely. I have a pair of these end links I could sell.

    They were designed for a truck that was lift 3” in the front.

    Do you oem end links not fit on your truck anymore? Are they short?
