The bar ends should curl upwards at the endlinks. See the pictures I posted earlier. The stock brackets will fit the new bushings, however the brackets won't bottom out against the subframe when bolted down due to the extra thickness of the new swaybar. I shimmed mine with a few washers so the bracket bolts could be securely tightened down as seen in the photos.

I finally got the new Moog endlink bushings installed, but I had to use the spacers from the old stock endlinks in order to get them to fit.
