L8 Quick Disconnects
 
Anyone else running them? Great product, but a little noisy. I believe its directly "linked" to the heim joints. Getting clunking over bumps. I haven't had an opportunity to disconnect them and go for a ride. I'm always on the run. Maybe, tomorrow morning I'll have an opportunity. Once I do I will update the thread.

I guess I'm looking for assurance that it's just the nature of the beast.

Oh sh*t man! I never measured my links for you! Hold on, I'll run outside here in a few minutes. My bad.

No worries.

By the way. I'm lifted ~3.5". Do You know if I have to increase the length of the factory links or adjust my aftermarkets as appropriate?

Also, with regard to geometry, Physics says the swaybar should be oriented ~ parallel to ground or within 0 to +20 degrees.

What's confusing is the factory orientation appears to be like +30 degrees.

Alright, here we go. I'm also sitting at 3.5" (on the nose!) and have stock length links. I measured them earlier and they're 10.25" from the top face of the sway bar to the center of the ball joint bolt on the bottom of the length.

It is weird the angle they're at, no doubt. That seems to work perfect for me though.
