Front Sway Bar Diameter

Spot-On! You're exactly right. Pack of 2.
The shafts of them are threaded with 7/16-20 thread. Buy a piece of threaded rod as well as some coupling nuts and some jam nuts to lengthen them. Then you'll be up and running!

Update: I've been driving with the Energy Suspension sway bar end links for a few months now. After a few months, they started squeaking like crazy. I called Energy Suspension. It turns out that the ball-n-socket joints need greased from time to time. From what I'm told, polyurethane is notorious for squeaking anyplace it touches moving metal; thus it needs lubed. Although it is superior to rubber in terms of suspension performance, I guess it has a drawback. He said the ones I installed (#9.8171) pop right apart with a little force (i.e., the ball pops out of the socket). You then apply some chassis grease to the ball-n-socket and pop them back together.
They said they have a proprietary lube for sale that is meant for this and is supposedly superior in terms of water resistance and wash-out. I am going to try ordinary chassis grease first to see how it does before I shell out cash to buy "special" grease. I figure if cheap chassis grease means I only have to do it once a year, then I'm fine with that small hassle.
I wanted to circle back and let folks know this since I think somebody was considering buying them on here.
Thanks,

I finally got a chance to disassemble the Energy Suspension sway bar end links today. I found them bone dry, hence the squeaking/rubbing noise. I packed the sockets full of silicone lubricant and reassembled. We'll see how it goes now. Hopefully they stay quiet for a good long time!
