Sway bar end links- where/what to buy
Here's the deal. I bought turboale's truck so here are the relevant specs.
Tech1 Steelies w 285 DullerATs
Downey Adjustable Coilovers with Bilsteins
OME/Bilstein combo in the back
Since the swaybar was sent to me with one end link missing and the other broken,
I need new ones. I went to the dealer to see what they cost and of course, they are outrageous at $86 each. I've been doing some research here on yotatech and have seen that there are some options. I checked 1sttoyotaparts.com and see that they have them for about $58 each. It's not quite clear in some of the threads so I gotta ask if this is something I can get at autozone? I know you can get the bushings there, but I'm not sure on the links themselves. Also, since the truck is lifted, will the stock ones even be a good idea? Should I get something like the quick disonnects? Are those apt to break easily? Any and all help is appreciated.

Quick disconnects if you go off road a ton and want the articulation (hopefully this is the right word).
I upgraded to Addcos just this weekend and it's night and day vs. stock. I can go much faster on the freeway w/o being scared that my truck would lose control. I don't go offroad so I don't need the disconnects.
Others have had good success with new bushings with their stock bars in case this was another option. Go for the ES bushings from Summit Racing.
