Front sway bar links

[Stromski07]

Hey everyone,

I'm having a terrible time trying to find replacement front sway bar links.

When I bought my truck in 2016 it already had a Rough Country lift on it. Now that RC has discontinued its RAM lifts I cant find any replacement parts. I believe it is a 3-4inch lift since the truck has 35" tires. The truck is a 2013 5.7 4wd

The problem is that the rough country link is not the same design as pretty much every other brand. It's pretty much a rear link design with a bend in it. The closest thing I can find is another rough country link for a 2006 jeep but I have no idea if itll match up

???? I checked their website and they're still showing kits for the RAM 1500, and the front sway bar links are right there...

I have a zone 4” lift and they told me that they don’t sell their end links separately so I custom ordered some from suspension maxx. A little pricey but good quality

From your picture, it looks like your link needs to be either rotated 90 degrees, or flipped top for bottom.

I also have a rough country lift on my 12, that was installed before I bought it. I had to remove and reinstall 3 of the 4 sway bar links because they were installed incorrectly.

For comparison, here are my links.

Also, if it’s just the bushings that are bad, you should be able to find a suitable “shock bushing” at your favorite auto parts store for just a few bucks.

Okay so my next question was going to be if that curve upwards in the sway bar was supposed to be there if it could be straightened and normal links used but looking at your pictures it looks like the sway bar needs to curve up even further

In an ideal situation, the ends of the sway bar should be parallel to the ground when the truck is sitting on a flat surface. This gives the sway bar the best range of motion. My picture is a little deceiving. It's sitting slightly nose down, on uneven ground, and I also have a 12K winch behind the bumper, which has sagged the suspension a little bit which makes my sway bar angle up slightly more.

When I contacted RoughCountry over the phone they told me that the lifts were being discontinued. Under the swaybar kit/parts RAM isn't listed.
