Sway bar problem?

I installed a 2 in spacer and some DT Pro Fab contorl arms on my truck now the sway bar is hitting the front of the coils. What can I do to fix this problem? Will drop spacers on the sway bar work , what about new end links? Who do you guys recomend getting parts from? What kind of money are we looking at?
Thanks Jason

hmmmm.. well i just resently went 4 wheelin in my 06 and didnt dis connect my endlinks and after i was dont one endlink was broken and the other was restin on the coil. after looking at it 4 away i came up with, that some how my sway bar got cought under the coilds and bent the hole sway bar. i took the sway bar off tourched the ends bent them back to where i thought they should be and everything hooked up fine and it works great now. on are trucks the endlinks do sit really close to the coils thow so if its a 1/2 inch away from the coils it probably fine.

When I hit a speed bump they hit, and it is unnerving the sound it makes. I would like to know if new end links will fix this or not?

I'd like to know the same thing.

You can get blocks from Lorenz Industries for about $65 or longer, and much stronger, endlinks from Carli for about $169. Since you have to buy new links anyway I suggest the longer links.

0.5" should be fine. But I highly recommend you cough up the extra dough and get the longer links.

Good luck!

Sorry been working lots of overtime at work, yes the control arms are 1/2" longer. I am hoping the end links fix the problem. Thanks Jason
