well i snapped my sway bar links off this summer and instead of spending the 90 dollars a side i made my own... the old ones were like 7/16 bolts so i went to 1/2 inch bolts bout 8 inches long, got new bushings from bds. and for my spacer between the the 2 inside bushing i took 5 inch black pipe, cut it to 4.5 inches, with flat washers, and a nylock nut. painted to sorta match the truck, and i included some pics.. i didnt know how well they would up but so far they are holding up wonderfully!!

All for bout 35 dollars, the most expensive was the bushings.. 20 bucks for those, and 5 bucks for the can of paint. And 10 bucks for 2 pipes, 2 8"x1/2" bolts, 8 flat washers, and 2 nuts, haha, definatly beats the 90+ dollars.

should have got grade 8...

If these snap off then I will be upgrading to grade 8 and go maybe an inch longer.. cause if you know the stock suspension they have some travel.. and before I had no travel so it put a lot of pressure on the old ones..
