Rear upper links - height sensor (1 Viewer)

[kerner]

Needing to replace my rear links but I need to keep the height sensors intact - I'm lifted with the extended Airbagman air bags. None of my searching has found upper links other than the OEM that have a bracket to mount the ride height sensor.

Has anyone replaced their rear links while keeping the ride height? Who makes the links that accommodate this? If not should I just go with the OEM - they obviously lasted 16 years.

I think OEM probably has the best bushings, aftermarket can be stronger but it’s usually the lower links that get bent from hits.

I've seen that, but looking at pictures their upper doesn't have the little bracket for the height sensors to mount. I suppose I'll check with them and make sure though.

Moog replacement LCAs definitely have the sensor bracket. I used them 3 years ago in my rig when I refreshed the suspension. They were exact copies of the OEM links (at least externally) and were like $40 each on Rock Auto. They've been fine for me so far in my lifted application, although I did go ahead and delete the rear bags.
