I eyeballed them to get close to the links I took off (not sure if that was stock or not). Sway bars and end links shouldn't have this effect.

I set mine to match what I took off as well, but those were stock sway bar links with no lift at all so wondering if that may be making things a little stiff/tight and causing some issues with a smooth ride. As I added my 1" spacers this past weekend, I disconnected the front sway bar links while I do some homework on what length I may need to set them to. Mine rides like tires are out of balance over 60MPH and I just had the tires installed.

The tires are larger and have a more aggressive tread pattern, so that probably contributed to it as well. I am going to have balance checked again, and set the sway bars to a longer length when I reconnect them. Then I will probably get a new alignment after additional lift and larger tires, probably need it since it has been a few years & a few off-road trips ago since I have had it aligned, but I had no problems before the new tires.

I just checked and my panhard is adjustable lol so that swivel isn't likely bad. The bushing on the passenger side might be bad though.

I think I'll let out a little pressure on the sway, but that still shouldn't result in shake while driving. Something else has to be bad down there

The bend on that end link could be a bit of the problem
