Shortened End Link Length?

[jimbaeumel]

Looks like the Moog Stock Replacement is Part # k8848 Bolt is 7.75" and Sleeve is 3.9 inches.

My question is with a 1.5 Lowering kit how much shorter does it need to be? Ive searched around and havent found a concrete answer.

Id prefer to track down a part over the counter than fab one up. Thanks in advance.

I think I figured it out. Ill Post part #s just in case it helps someone in the future. ON American air website it said to shorten by .5"

Moog K8848 is the HD Rubber Endlink for stock height and is 6" between mounting points

Moog K8988 is the HD Rubber Endlink for Lowered applications and is 5.5" between mounting points

Moog K700538 is the Poly upgrade for K8988 but is 5.25" between mounting points.

I think i may give the poly set a try and see how they work out.

make the sway bar level at regular ride height.
and the length will be what it be.

That's the way I've always done it.

I've been thinking of getting a set of these: http://www.powergridinc.com/swaybar.asp

I just cut down my sleeves 1/2" and then cut off the lower end of the end link bolt when I lowered the car.
