Sway Bar Link Pins/Bushing upgrade for 2019-2022 Ram 1500

It looks like the thermoplastic is softer than poly but harder than rubber so maybe a softer ride but maybe not as durable as the poly
 
Installed the Energy Suspension bushings last night. Very easy install and clunk is 100% gone. Big thanks to the OP @JayBee2019 for helping a guy out. So happy with this simple fix!
 
I am planning on buying the suspension maxx sway bar end links as mine are toast. Question I have is which ones do I get? My 2019 Rebel is stock from factory with the air suspension package and on 35s. I am assuming the ones for a stock setup but with the 6" of travel depending on my height selection (if that will even matter) I just want to make sure I get it right. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the correct thread but I’ll give it a shot.

Installed my links maybe 3 months ago and had no issues with them. Install was a PITA which was weird seeing YouTube videos install them with ease.

Developed a clunk a month ago so went under and tightened every thing I could touch.

It helped but came back and got worse the more I drove, well today it was terrible. I crawled under the truck to see this…

Any guesses or a reason to why this happened?

Looks like it wasn't tightened properly. If the stuff hasn't broken off, then it was too short not allowing the Teflon locking ring to hold the threads. Contact suspensionmaxx and they should help you out

It was definitely torqued down the other side hasn’t budged but the driver side is the one pictured.

I’ll reach out them and see what they have to say or have a replacement part for the top portion that is stripped now.

If I recall when I installed mine the locking washer should be on the side where the nut is on and not on the tapered washer.

Would have also had loctite on it as well when new.

I did think about doing that but I didn’t know if that was overkill.

I also did not get nylon nuts with the kit so I’ll be looking for those tomorrow at a local hardware store

Answer me this is the angled washer correct or is it supposed to be in the upside down orientation to what is pictured. All the videos I looked at on YouTube didn’t specify

Angled washer I believe should be with the skinner part at the bottom. You can tell because where it sits at is angled as well. Suspensionmaxx instructions showed pictures on how it should be installed. I don’t think I have my instructions still and I am back to factory links since I went with the bds lift. Have the Suspensionmaxx sitting in the garage.
They don’t have the instructions on the site but send them an email. They are really good at getting back to questions.

I'm interested in getting the MaxxSuspension End links. I contacted them to make sure what size to get btw the 19 and 21.
They told me to measure the bolt size in order to get the right one.
However, when I checked the bolt size on my 21 Laramie the bolt size is 17mm? I'm very confused now. The bolts should all be 21mm, Maxx staff stated they make two sizes because sometimes RAM ship them in 19mm. What's the deal with 17mm?
Anyone have any more feedback on the issue?
