You don't. It has to be on the ground with fuel and driver weight.
That's what I figured which means you have to have it on a wheel lift with 200 lbs of weight in the driver's seat to reach the end links.

If you have both ends of the drop link loose, you can just have weight in the seat and the car on the ground. You can reach up in there and make sure there is no load in the drop link at rest. Then jack the car up, take the wheels off and tighten the jams. Ya, it's another step in the process, but that's presumably why we the racey stuff on our car...

Have your sway bars shipped yet?
3 weeks and counting and no bars as of yet. Going thru Beefcake Racing and the customer service side of things from BCR has been great. The news supplied to them...not so much. "Yours are in production 1-2 weeks or less" now it's "Yours are in production. Should ship in a few days" 🤷‍♂️

I've been using the BMR units for 6 years and 30k miles and they haven't failed yet. I've just switched to air ride now though, and the end links are too long in the front, so need to either find some shorter ones (which is proving to be very difficult!) or cut down the BMR ones.

I was hoping this would work! I just got an email; they've shipped

@TeeLew Putting end links on this weekend. Got the old ones off and discovered on my car (350) the bar is not bonded to the center bushings. Bar will rotate all over the place by hand. I’m at stock height anyways, so I’m just gonna adjust the links to match the stock link length and call it a day!

On a side note…drivers side link was bent! But that seems to be fairly common on these. Strength of new units should make for a nice upgrade.

Which ones did you install? And did you call them about the damaged bars you received?

To clarify….the bone stock end links coming off the car were bent. Not the new ones.

And I went Steeda.

Thank you for clarifying. I need to change my GT PP1 soon. The end links look cheap, flimsy to say the least. I hear aftermarket ones really make a difference. Good Luck

To me, Looks like the MMR sway bar end links are the ultimate sway bar end link upgrade.
I'm going with these when I upgrade my sway bars.
Has anyone out there tried these?

No dust boots doubtfully very quiet they look like hard core links with short life span to me, and similar to Eibach ones and many others....

Any suggestions for better options? Perhaps ones with dust boots?

If you don't need adjustable ones and have bent stock ones then Moog are great, at 10X weight of stock.

Steeda are also very heavy and bulky went through two dust boots on mine in 1 year so threw them out.

If not having any bending issues on OE I'd go with those because they are very light, durable, quiet and minimal profile.

They will be fine, just install them properly.

However if street driving is all you are doing, just get another set of stock ones.
