swaybar link after balljoint spacer

I was looking at the swaybar links today front and rear on my 95 4runner. I am going to be doing the "4RUNNER-OPTION2-GEN2" from TRDparts4U.
Has anyone tried using the rear links on the front. They look the same just the rear are longer then the front.
I may be way off here but was just a thought.

I haven't changed my links and they seem just fine. When I make some disco's I may lengthen them. I am pretty sure most everyone is running there regular links unless they got discos. You could try it but aren't the rears a lot longer?

Yes the rears are longer. That was my point. With the balljoint spacers has anyone tried putting rears on the front to get more droop in the front without making disconnects.

Your swaybar doesn't affect the droop, it affects your uptravel. Your upper bumpstops are what stops the droop. With bj spacers you have to make sure that your cv doesn't bind at full droop. You may even have to shim your upper bumpstops. I had to shim my bumpstop up about 3/8 in to keep the cv from binding at full droop. Disconnecting the sway bar allows you to gain much more uptravel, so I am not sure if the changing the length matters or not especially when you are only talking about 1.5 in. I think the rears are longer than the front by more than 1.5 in. That being said, when I make my disco's I will make them 1.5 in. longer than stock, but that is just so the swaybar sits how it used to.
