Question regarding Superlift sway bar end links

[CookJ]

I'm running the 6" lift and have noticed since the install that both links are not vertical, and, the passenger side will rub the spring from time to time. In fact, the washer above the rubber grommet has a flat spot from rubbing on occasion. I know I can rotate the spring, but, aren't these things suppose to be vertical (or close to)? Would dropping the sway bar mount (using Lorenz blocks or other) be a good idea for plumbing them or is there something else I should be concerned with? I have already removed the sway bar to see if each end were symetrical and they appeared to be. I also replaced the sway link grommets which did not improve anything (not that they would). As for sag, there might be an 1/8" difference between the driver side and passenger side (pass side being lower). Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you flexed your truck out or hit those huge bump stops very hard? If you have they may be bent. I had a Superlift on my 03 and I bent a coupled of sets of the extended links. They are junk. Run them until you cant stand it any more and replace them with the Lorenz, Kore, Carli, you get it. They are just not strong enough for how long they are. Every time I went of road I would bend one.

The sway links are straight, but lean towards the coil springs (with the passenger side rubbing or fretting). Wonder if i should remove the sway bar again and double check? If I do and find it is out to some degree, I may attempt to reform it (hot or cold bending) at a local shop to correct it. Has anyone ever attempted this with any success?
