I have seen the moog links but mixed reviews. I've seen the Hellwig adjustable but not sure I want to mess with all that and they're freaking expensive. Any other options you've seen? Going on a 2020 max.
Best sway bar end links? Upgrading to Hellwig bars...

I've tried several, I went back to the Energy suspension setup. I had the Moog end links but I had clanking in it, no matter how hard I cranked things down. Went back to the ES setup and things have been great.

I have this same setup and agree

Thank you gents. Now my next question. I have looked and found what look like universal end links for energy suspension, and I don't see any specific to the expedition. Would any of you happen to have part numbers? Thanks either way!

I forget the model number but the ones you order need to be cut by like 3/4 inch. EDIT SEE POST BELOW ITS 1/2 INCH
I believe in the main hellwig sway bar thread a member posted the model number and what to trim off.

I realize this isn't my rear sway bar, but it's my front end links. I did the Energy Suspension kit (part number 9.8121G) on the front. These things are nice and beefy and I like that they have polyurethane bushings top and bottom of each connection. Now technically I had to modify them a bit, the bolts are the right length but the bushings are so stiff, that I couldn't actually get the nut on the top (because there was no good way of compressing them enough), so I ended up cutting about 3/4" off of each of the metal spacers that go in the center. This actually lined up the bar a little better too (more parallel). If I had to do it again, I would have only cut 1/2" off, this means a decent amount of threads are exposed on top unfortunately once you crank it down. An alternative would have been to get longer bolts but I couldn't find 9" by 3//8"/16 grade 5 or 8 bolts anywhere near me.
Here's a before and after. So far I like it, took it for a drive, no knocks or noises yet, will recheck nut tightness in a couple days. Way stronger than the stock stuff
Here is the info from other thread.... it's a 1/2 inch not 3/4
