I purchased two different kits of rear sway bar end-links to see which were better. Mevotech for about $37 each piece, and ones from a seller called 'Suspension Dudes' (red bushings, no grease fitting) for about $17 each piece. The Mevotech seem very similar to the Moog, albeit the Moog are about $23 each.
I ended up putting the Mevotech on my vehicle rather than 'Suspension Dudes' for several reasons.
The Mevotechs come with a greaseable joint and include a grease fitting. The others require piercing the boot with a grease needle in-order to add grease.
Another benefit of the Mevotech ones is that they include new mounting hardware. My original mounting hardware was so rusted that I had to cut them out. Definitely a bonus that Mevotech includes new nuts and bolts so you don't have to go searching through mopar sites to find them. The other ones I purchased did not include new hardware except for the sleeves and bushings.
Speaking of sleeves and bushings, the Mevotech ones came pre-assembled. Putting together a sleeve and bushing isn't that hard, but this is a definite time-saver not having to do it yourself.
Lastly, the Mevotech ones are thicker. You can see the shaft on them (pictured left in the photo) is thicker, although it is harder to tell in the photo than in real life. I assume they will be stronger for off-roading.
Recommendation: spend the extra money on Mevotech or Moog (I don't have a Moog one to compare it to but it has all the same features, but I cannot speak to the thickness of the boot rubber or thickness of the metal between the two).

Good review
Of course you know those are stock length and with a lift on a KK it does make a difference
I'm still researching for longer/adjustable ones that will work. Jegs makes some adjustable ones but they have ball joint on both ends while KK stock one is rigid bushing on one end and ball joint on the other. Also going to be looking at some for Dodge Rams that look similar to the KK.
EDIT:
I've decided just to put some together with swedged tubes and threaded steel ends from Barnes 4wd or SpeedwayMotors.com. Ultra-custom! :p
