I doubt they affected the end links, but getting adjustable ones can't hurt. The stock ones will go pretty soon.

This. Swaybar is probably flipped. Should be able to reuse the stock links.

There are several threads on this forum regarding adjustable swaybar links.

Harold at HP Autoworks was/ is the guru on this subject.

He would probably say that the new swaybar end links in the front need to be longer and the ones in the back need to be shorter.

You lengthen them or decrease them by the length of the drop in your suspension in the front or rear.

He clearly stated stock springs. Should be no need for adjustable links.
