    TVS Front Sway Bar End Links

    Guys I am having a problem getting the end links to stand up straight. The end links are kicked in facing eachother on both sides. I have tried putting them in with the truck in the air and on the ground with no luck. The bottom bushing on the top of the control arm is compressed funny on both as well. I am now getting a creaking sound when I hit bumps. Any ideas?? Can someone shoot some pics of theirs??

    The problem is with the angle that is produced by the drop. This has to do more with the OEM lower A arms than the TVS. One solution is to convert the end links to heim joints.

    info on endlinks....pics are of the rear, but the same principle applies to the front. energy suspension sells shorter endlinks with polyurethane bushings to fix the height differences

    be nice to incorporate that, along with some sort of quick release type setup, so its quick and easy to disconnect for running the 1320
