Sway bar end links - trim to flatten?

[heynow14]

Hi all -

I've installed 1.125" Hellwig front bar. Car is dropped significantly. Sway bar end links are now tipped up pretty radically. Should I be trimming the end link sleeves in order to flatten the resting position of the bar?

It would be ideal to have your sway bar ends level to the ground, but unfortunately the tie rods get in the way. Not much you can do about it, with a "stock" type bar.

try to get atleast mid travel at ride height. yes, trim or order the correct length link. If you do trim you may need to replace the bolt too.
