Why? Did you have an issue?

I've had them on my truck for a couple years with no problems. I have all moog problem solver front end parts.

I read reviews that the moog sway bar links were having some issues.

I went with Motorcraft. By the time I bought the bushing nuts also it was $170, compared to about 60 for moog.

I've had no issues with the moog end links. My original motorcraft ones were clunking at 60k so I wasn't going with them again.

I've had great luck with moog stuff. I'm curious to know the issues others had with the sway bar links.

K80338 are 4wd and K80337 are 2wd. They seem to have completely different reviews but I'm sure the quality and everything is the exact same.

Seems people couldn't get the zerk fitting on right. I'll admit it's tough to get it to thread and the hole seems too small, but it does fit.

Anyway, I paid $40 for my set of two moog problem solver sway bar links two years ago and I'm satisfied with them.

The truck is sittino at the shop waiting for an alignment and I told the shop to go over all suspension hardware. Anybody else have this issue? And yes I've searched forums but haven't found anything related to my situation specifically.
You might want to look into installing wedges between the diff. and leaf springs. You changed the pinion angle and that's what is causing the clunking! Just a thought. My Ground Force came with the wedges.
