Sway bar end links?
No offense intended, but I want to be sure I understand you here.
mine are bent the also what causes this and will i need to adjust anything if possible so I dont stress anything else im looking into adjustable control arms to move the axle fwd 1 inch hopping this will fix the endlink issue or am i completly off base with that
Don't waste your time on another stock set. Just ditch the stock parts for the better parts mentioned above. I've seen the stock end links bent on stock trucks.
Didn't your KORE system come with better links? Or at the very least sway bar drop blocks?

if you install a lift without drop blocks, you probably have bent your kryptonite, titanium composite, ultra high quality factory end links.
well i recently started having problems with my endlinks and my truck only has 13000 miles on it but i think its because of the roads and conditions i go through i was looking into the lazarsmith ssss or drop blocks and end links and new sawy bar bushings.....which route would be best to take??

The end link upgrades offered by Lorenz/Carli, et al will correct the cheap design the Chrysler guys were forced to use to come under their cost targets ...
If you've got the cash, the best thing to do is upgrade both. The SSSSS will help your steering box last longer and help in the handling dept. with the increased stiffness in the bushings he uses. The upgraded end links will help in the handling dept and prevent anymore problems related to this design deficiency.
Additional note ... with the 315s and the 2" spacer up front, it would be a good idea to upgrade your track bar or use one of Lazarsmith's offset track bar bushing sets to help correct the front end geometry.
thanks for the info! i have been having a popping noise when i turn took it to the dealer and they said it was a loose tie rod and tightened it up, that was yesterday and today it started doing it again so idk???

Have you run the #'s to see the strength diffrence in using 1/2" grade 9 hardware vs 10mm Stainless? Stainless almost doesn't compare to the grade 9. The strength of Stainless is stronger than a grade 5 bolt, but weaker than grade 8. Frankly, neither of our Links compare to the 10mm mild steel tac welded stock units.
LORENZ uses Billet 4130 Chormolly for the actual links as well. My machinist hates me. He went through more taps and bits than he ever has, and didn't make a dime on our last production run. The Rod Ends that Carli and I both use are a toss up in the strength dept, as they are the same units... FK 4130 Chromolly heat treaded.
I'm usually a proponent of "Keeping It Simple Stupid" by using less parts, but this product was a no brainer. We use 3 pieces vs 2 because it increased the overall strength in this application.
