    So I just finished up my front end OME lift. Being a big fan of DIY I occasionally break stuff. This time it was the sway bar link boot. I wasn’t paying attention and dropped a part on it and next thing I knew I’m covered in grease...

    So now the question I can’t seem to find a quick answer for. Do I just replace with OEM links or is there a benefit to upgrading since I have a lift now? If yes on the upgrade which links and why?

    Oem is best quality you can get but expensive. Oem is like 80 bucks a piece. I just put a new set on my truck yesterday and went with some Amazon cheap o’s. Suspension dudes?? I think?? I went with them because I liked their boot style the best.
