Breaking parts sucks!! Even when its something as small as a sway bar endlink. These sway bar end links are a Heavy Duty replacement of the factory style end links which are notorious for breaking. The Kryptonite end links utilize a lower clevis system which takes some of the angle off of the link when the suspension is cycling. Minimizing stress that can cause breakage. These end links are approximately 1-1/2" longer than stock, measuring at 7.5" hole to hole. They are used on stock height and slightly Leveled Trucks. They allow some extra clearance for the Kryptonite larger diameter tie-rod upgrade.
