Interferes with stock drivers side rear rim.
Added a 3 inch lift kit and replaced the stock sway bars with these to move the stock ones to the front. The supplied washer rubs against the driver side rear wheel rim. I had to reposition the sway bar on the inside of the mounting brackets to clear the rim.I will install wheel spacers and then reinstall the sway bar to the correct position. Otherwise, I am satisfied.Update: The problem is caused by raising the body, and now the axel is no longer centered with the body. I have ordered an adjustable rear track bar to solve problem, and will reposition the sway bar to the correct position.

If you have a 2.5" lift on your JK, you need these!
If you are like me and you did your 2.5" lift without addressing any of the control, your JK is probably all over the road, at high speeds or when you hit any bumps. The first step to mitigating these issues is leveling out your rear sway bar. This will make your sway bar parallel to the ground again, and remove that loose/breakaway feeling that you get in the rear; it's very evident in a turn when you hit a bump and the rear breaks away and kind of "hops" over.These are perfect, and they are RE, so you get a bargain and excellent quality. Can't beat em'.It's worth mentioning that if you do have a lift on your stock links that over time the fastener threads will have been destroyed, and the bushings are probably trashed. Get under the rear end and check for looseness, especially on your passenger side. The fastener nut has probably reversed itself over time. If not, you are lucky and should consider buying this cheap upgrade immediately, and taking 15 minutes out of your day to put 'em on, proper tools permitting. Just use an impact wrench and a large diameter box wrench. May need a few impact grade 1/2" drive swivel extensions to get you there. Worth the price for the lack of headaches :)

Decent links, but too long for a 2-2.5” lift
Ok. Here is the deal on these rear links: these are 11.5” eye to eye and would be best suited for a 3-3.5” lifted Wrangler JK. I bought these and returned them because they were too long for my 2” lifted JK. Even if you had a 2.5” lift I feel the rear sway bar would be still too high using these RE1157 links. The build/finish/quality was OK, nothing special or above average.*Once I returned these, I bought the Rugged Ridge rear sway bar links and those were perfect! Those links measured 10.5” eye to eye and would be perfect for any 2-2.5” lifted Jk.

Not enough bolts for installation. Otherwise great.
I think this priduct looks like a great deal as long as the bushings hold up. Fits well. I am confused by the fact they only send two bolts with this product that clearly needs four bolts to attach it. Not the end of the world but why send two? They offered to resend me the entire item or refund. No option for receiving two more bolts. Ill probably end up buying four though because they should match exactly. A little fustrated by something that was over looked by seller.

No bolts?
I saw the review he only received 2 bolts. I only got the sway bar links by itself! I thing Quality Assurance needs to step up! Other than that, i think it will hold up when i find the time to get the bolts,

Good Link for the price
Solved a problem. I may end up going with a more high end link down the road but these took care of a problem right away. Good product.

Solid product
My last sway-bar links were clunking every time i would drive over a small bump and it was driving me crazy, I dont think that can happen with these the way they're designed

Pretty Easy Install. Missing Hardware to do complete install.
Pretty Easy Install.Missing Hardware to do complete install. My complaint with these is they only include 2 bolts, nuts and washers when they should have included 4 of each. Reusing the factory bolts isnt ideal and considering the cost of the bolts its not acceptable.Otherwise they fit great and look good (after I painted them lol)
