Question SwayBar end length for leveled.

My truck is leveled and I'm replacing the old factory Sway Bar End Links, do any of you suggest an optimal longer length?

Gonna high jack this but do you suggest Moog all around or a higher priced brand like ProForged or MevoTech? I need to do everything: upper/lower ball joints, idler/pitman, tie rod ends, should all around. About $600 worth
Then and $500 for hubs and cv's lol

No need to spend more money. I use Moog HD parts, Last just as long and spend less money.

My only knock with the Moog links is that if the bolts were 1/2" longer, it would make installation a heck of a lot easier.

When i leveled mine, i bought an inch longer end link, and it made a world of difference to me, OE length is fine, for OE Rake that it has, when you raise the front up you put more stress on the OE end lengths. i ordered mine from energysuspensionparts.com they also sell them at Advanced auto parts, just get under there and measure the cylinder thats between the bushings and add an inch, thats what i did, and it worked out good for me.
