Default Rear sway bar links

Those of you who have done the tbar and shackles lift, the rear sway bar links are at a pretty tough angle, has anyone had any problems with them?

Anyway to take a picture of the angles you are concerned about?

If you have access to a welder, I would extend the links to bring the sway bar back to near stock angles.

You will not get the same performance out of the bar if the angles get too much between the end links and the arms of the bar. Instead of twisting the bar, it will pull on it. Might not damage anything, but it just won't be the same.
