Set a long Antirock link length without giving up rod rigidity
RockJock RJ-253200-101 is built for Universal dimension-based sway bar link set and a component of RockJock JT Gladiator rear Antirock kits. Requires a compatible 17.6875- to 18.875-inch center-to-center range, 1/2-inch through-bolt mounts, safe link and arm geometry, and full suspension clearance. Final compatibility depends on matching every dimension, mounting point, moving component, and clearance in the intended suspension system.
Key Features
- Pair of 15.5-inch link rods with 5/8-inch-diameter bodies
- Opposing 1/2-inch-20 left- and right-hand threads permit installed adjustment
- Thru-bolt heim joints use 1/2-inch mounting holes
- Closed range of 17 11/16 inches center to center
- Extended range of 18 7/8 inches center to center

FAQ
What is the RJ-253200-101?It is the RockJock sway bar end links described in the Specifications table for the stated dimension-based application.
Can these replace every factory sway bar link?No. The required center-to-center range, mounting width, bolt size, articulation, arm angle, and full suspension clearance must all match.
What is the adjustment range?The assembled links adjust from 17 11/16 inches to 18 7/8 inches center to center.
Why do the rods use left- and right-hand threads?Opposing threads let the link length be adjusted without removing both ends from the vehicle.
What size mounting bolts are required?The heim joints use 1/2-inch through holes, but bolt grade, length, spacers, and bracket design must match the engineered application.
Are these used in a RockJock vehicle kit?Yes. RockJock includes this link configuration in its JT Gladiator rear Antirock kits.
Can the links go over center at full droop?They must not. Cycle the suspension and adjust link length or arm geometry so the link and arm cannot align and flip over center.
Are misalignment spacers included?Only the parts listed in the What's Included section are supplied; application-specific bolts, spacers, and brackets are separate unless explicitly listed.
Installation Instructions
- Verify the package label and manufacturer part number RJ-253200-101 before removing, cutting, or installing components.
- Measure the required center-to-center link length at ride height and through the full suspension travel.
- Confirm 1/2-inch mounting holes, bracket spacing, bolt specification, arm sweep, and safe operating angle.
- Thread the left- and right-hand heim joints into each rod with adequate and balanced thread engagement.
- Install application-rated hardware and spacers without side-loading the heim joints.
- Adjust both links to equal effective length and align the sway bar arms at the engineered operating angle.
- Cycle compression, droop, and steering to verify that neither link can bind, contact another component, or go over center.
- Tighten the jam nuts and mounting hardware to the engineered application specifications, then reinspect after the initial service interval.
