In my opinion all pro products tend to be a little on the cheap side of things
You don't need the sway bar links. I had the AP links on for a while and they were a nuisance. Constantly squeaking because of the cheap ball joints. The ball joints are not teflon lined and no amount of lube will keep them properly flexing. Find someone who can weld and beef up the stock ones if you can.
Lower links are the most vulnerable IMO. A good whack on a boulder will bend the OEM ones pretty easily. There are lots of upper and lower link options, but I have the AP lower links. Paid around $180 for the set. They don't offer these any more for some reason. They were called the Ultimate LCA's with greasable poly bushings and a round DOM shaft with .25 thick wall. They have served well and the only complaint is that the poly bushings are stiffer than stock (while they may last longer). This stiffness caused the bracket holes on the axle tube to wallow out. I fixed it by welding a grade 8 (SAE) washer over the stock hole and the shoulder nut to the other hole. Now it doesn't move, but it still flexes the way it was designed.
The upper links I had remanufactured thru a guy on FJCF (blue room) who would recycle the old ends and re-weld beefier .25 wall DOM tubing between them. Paid around $100, IIRC, for those.
