Replying to myself for posterity in case someone else wants to do thisFor those who have relocated their sway bar end links to the outside of the LCA anyone either know the original dimensions of the bolt that is used to hold the sway bar end links in place or the correct length for a new longer bolt?

I'm looking at doing the KDSS relo and wanted to try what @Willy beamin did but I'd like to avoid taking the suspension apart just to measure the bolt.

You are going to love them. Thanks, looking forward to trying them out. I ordered the kdss relocation today and the tires should be here by Friday. Just in time for the 4 day weekend. Hopefully I can find a trail that isn't packed full of people.forum.ih8mud.com
- If you remove the end link bolt the end link will stay put if the vehicle is on the ground.
- The nut is captive - it's welded into the LCA as best I can tell.
- The OEM bolt is M14-1.5 fine thread with ~3"/80mm of threads. The replacement bolt will need to be 100-120mm in length. The OEM bolt has about 1/2" of thread sticking behind the nut, possibly more, but there's definitely another inch+ of free space in there. (I happened to have a pair of M14-1.5 ~120mm bolts sitting in my box-o-random-parts... I think from when I swapped the UCAs ages ago - so I am going to try those).
- The cradle for the KDSS link is approximately 1.5" deep. The KDSS end link is approximately 2" in diameter. Presumably the hole diameter is 14mm based on the bolt size.
- I bought a pair of these in 1.5" deep option, cost was $10 plus shipping. I will probably need to drill the inner hole slightly larger since 1/2" is 12.7mm. Hopefully these fit... I couldn't locate any round aluminum stock to cut and drill on-site - 1-1/2" O.D x 1/2" I.D.

- Correct torque spec for the OEM bolt for reassembly is 100 ft/lb.
(I'm kinda hoping the metal sleeve in the end link bushing actually rotates within the bushing so my concern will be moot, but I won't know until I get it all apart. If anyone knows for sure, let me know).
