I'm not an expert, but I would say my opinion is that you want the sway bar ends the same distance from your lower ball joints on both sides. And, you want to look at your new components and observe; does your sway bar remain outside of interference with your new components? (especially the coils) You will want to observe the sway bar in the fully-extended, and under fully-loaded conditions.

Is that an aftermarket steering knuckle, if it is, is the sway bar link mounting hole in the same place or lowered for the lift, if it was lowered then I would think the OEM length link would work...

 

Yay DBA rotors. I love those on my Supra.

For setting sway bar preload, you want the truck level at ride height with the approximate weight of the normal passengers in it where they go (just your weight in the driver seat if its normally just you driving), then unhook one side of the sway bar and adjust it until its mounting bolt slides in and out of the mounting hole easily. They are rarely the same length on both sides. Once this slides in and out without you pushing or pulling on the sway bar it will be at a zero preload, and you can tighten it down.

But, with that suspension, just yank the bar off. The truck is so much nicer to be in with the sway bar deleted.

 

Thanks everyone that chimed in! All of the information makes sense. Thank you again.

Yeah, I got DBA's on the wifey's Hellcat as well. Her 16' would absolutely eat rotors until I went DBA. And all she did / does is go back and forth to her work. 8 miles rounds trip.

 

Changed the oil
Several mods over past few months, installed seat covers, seat jackers, Trackform vent mount cell phone holder, K&N intake system, the D rings on the bed rail

Thinking about swapping to to a bakster (sp?) oil filter adapter.

Tune was the best thing I've done to my truck. Changed the way it drove in all the right ways.
