I did nothing to the front with 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inches of lift. The rear is around 4 to 4-1/2 inches. For the rear I used 2nd Gen 4Runner endlinks (1990-1995). I have had them for about 3 years and no problems and no breakage.

I was thinking if it will be worth the while of making an extension for the threaded portion of the link after the above said lift, objective would be to return the original tension on the bar/links thus restoring the stock handling(I just wanna feel/compare them)

You don't need PTFE lined joints for a part that barely moves. Mine are all stainless metric size rod, stainless nylocks and washers. I think I spent $50 shipped for the parts to do all 4 corners from McMaster.

And in the rare instance one of these cheap joints would wear out, I could buy more than a dozen replacements and still not spend more than $120 on the whole setup.
They work just fine for me.

I think you missed the point. End links don't move more than a few degrees. They don't move like a-arm uniball.

I broke both of the front links so I ditched the whole bar. I don't need it with the coilovers.
I have enough heims and tubing to make rear links if the stock ones ever break.

@midget96: thanks for the pics, I'll try to look for them parts locally here..
thanks to everybody who shared
I thought of making extension made of shaft steel (hexagon-shaped), threaded on the inside on one end, threaded like a bolt on the other end...I saw them in a 4x4MAGAZINE (Japanese)

Or the real answer. With a 2" lift you don't need to change anything.
Some believe that wheeling without a front bar allows the suspension to work better, me included, so people have disconnected the front swaybar.
