Hi, does anyone know the difference in the part numbers for the oem Front sway bar end links? I'm looking to order some for my 2019 Ram.

68399868AD - is that for 2019-2020 only? but then the parts webpage has a note that says for M14 Thread, use #68399868AE. How would I know which thread it has?

when I looked up 68399868AE, it appears those are for 2021-up years?

So would the 68399868AD be the correct ones for my 2019 truck with original sway bar?

I also looked at those aftermarket ones from SuspensionMaxx. I saw some reviews/comments about them rusting and I don't want to deal with that since I live in the Northeast and aftermarket parts do tend to rust up here.

The newer end links have a 21mm nut while the older have a 19mm. I think they changed the end links in 2021 and can be used on the 19-20 sway bar if you drill the holes out slightly.

I went through a few sets of the 19mm end links and bushings on my 2020. Traded it in for a 2022 and have had the bushings replaced twice and the sway bar itself replaced once. Still on the original 21mm end links, so they seem to have been beefed up.

I have a set of the suspension maxx end links and have yet to install them as the factory ones are still good.

Factory parts will rust just as easily if not cared for.

Update, I decided to buy the SuspensionMaxx end links instead of OEM. I installed them and so far my clunking sounds are gone. I could tell the grease was leaking out of the OEM end link boots.
