How much lift on a KZJ78 before extended stabilizer bar links are needed? Or helpful?
My KZJ78 has about a 2-3" lift (unsure of exact height) and while I was attempting to drop the front stabilizer bar, a bolt was frozen and I snapped it off. There's a bit of play in the fitting anyway, so rather than try to extract the bolt, I was going to just buy new stabilizer bar links. That got me thinking... if I'm going to the effort, should I look for extended links and drop the bar? I'm nearly positive the old stabilizer bar links on mine were OE.
The OEM part numbers are 48820-60010 (RH) and 48810-60010 (LH) for abut $35 each, though Partsouq is showing a couple aftermarket versions for about 1/3 the cost. I've cross referenced the OEM part and it does not appear to have been used on any US spec cars, just 70 series.
