im not sure how much they need extended or if they even do but i disconnected my sway bars so i dont want to do to much offrading with it yet cuz i dont want to tear out my stock lines on the front.
I haven't ever had a swaybar on either end of my 4x4 toys. My F150 has the one (maybe two) from the factory but it's completely stock and probably always will be.
My Ex rides fine with no sways, but you'd probably want to do a disconnect type on the front to be on the safe side.
If you want to go extended break line, fida a place in your city that can extend them for you. I had mine extended in town here for about 50 dollers and had them in about an hour. Try to keep it local and help the local company's out,
Without your anti-sway bar I'm pretty sure you will get more droop than the brake lines or shocks will allow. Take the sway bar off. Jack the frame up on that side and watch your suspension droop.

I did that on mine, and the stock shocks reached their limit well before the brake line did.. Doesn't hurt to check it out though, in-case he somehow got shorter brake lines..
I have both sway bars equipped with disconnects. They work great. Makes wheeling in the 94 so much better. Takes 2 mins to disconnect both, and 2 mins to reinstall for the road back home.
ok looking at taking the rear anti-sway bar off but i have two other bars that go to the rear axle as well what are they and can/do i need to take them off as well?

Already answered this question in the other thread you posted it in, but for the rest...
The bars that are on the front of your rear axle are called "anti-wrap" bars. They keep the axle from turning excessively on your leaf springs when you accelerate. Sort of like a factory installed "traction bar". Yes you can take them off the truck with very little effect.
