New to me 05 Wrangler sport 4L,. Sway bar link bushings are bad, looking for new ones was told it had a 4" lift. My question is when I measured then the driver side it's an inch longer, is that normal? About 10.5 eye to eye driver and 9.5 passenger. Just noticed that the driver side sits higher than passenger. Any suggestions for new ones and stabalizer shock as well?
 
First confirm your actual suspension lift height. Front springs are 12" and rear are 8" for stock height, 16" front and 12" springs in the rear would mean it's a 4" lift. Generally speaking you want 4" taller antiswaybar links for a 4" suspension lift. Exact match on the additional height of the link is not required but close to the gain in suspension height is the way to go.

Nearly any single steering stabilizer kit is fine like Rancho's hydraulic RS5000 steering stabilizer kit which includes the required tapered stud. Removing the OEM stabilizer removes the stud so make sure whatever you buy has that tapered stud. Avoid gas-charged steering stabilizers which usually cause the steering to want to drift left.
