If I'm lowering the lobo with h&r super sport springs, do I need shorter or longer sway bar links? I saw a post saying longer on here but panda motorworks sells shorter ones for lowering.

Shorter springs shorten the distance between the chassis (where the bar is mounted) and the suspension arm (where the end link is mounted), so if you're going to adjust for a lowered vehicle, you want to use a shorter endlink. Longer swaybar links are for lifted vehicles.

Digging up a Month old thread. Yeah that thread about longer endlinks confused me also. Usually you go with shorter links when lowering and longer when lifting.

I'm currently looking for shorter endlinks. Which links did you end up going with?

Panda motorworks was selling whiteline KLC180-235. I'm going to install them this weekend to see if the noise stops.

Yes, you want longer. End link attaches to the strut, just below the spring. You compress the spring (or lower car) and that mount position goes higher. The lower part attaches to the sway bar. Top goes up, pulling the bottom up with it. To return the sway bar back to neutral after lowering, you want longer. I was never able to get back to neutral as you will hit the A arm, as that also goes up, as the spring compresses. Used the same TCR12265. My post two years ago https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/front-end-link-stud-size.52697/.

So, we're talking about front end links here... Posts #5 and 6 were the first one in the thread that mentioned that. Ignore my comments above, as I was incorrectly assuming rear links.
