Parts needed:
2 Sway Bar endlinks from Rough Country
2 Draw Pins
2 Clevis pins
1 Dremel
1 Sanding Bit


Ok, So I wanted quick discos, but didnt want to spend 160+ dollars. So I happened to have these swaybar endlinks left over from my recent Rough Country lift. Obviously they are made by Rough Country.

So I started with these parts:

Thats the swaybar endlinks, 2 Draw pins and 2 clevis pins. Im not sure on the exact size of the draw pin. I just went to Tractor Supply Co and picked up the smallest draw pin they had and the clevis pin to match it.

Next, I got out my dremel and small sanding bit. I had to dremel out the bushing a small amount in order for the draw pin to fit inside. Be careful not to dremel it out too much. My endlinks slides over the draw pin very snuggly. Use a small amount of grease on the pin and it will slide effortlessly, yet still be very snug.

Here is what they look like put together:

Do yourself a favor and get another set of those draw pins and drill a hole in the fender well and mount them so you have a place to attach the link and clevis pins to. It will keep it up and out of the way
