When adding a 3" leveling kit to the front end of my vehicle listed above will longer sway bar links be needed and if yes what do you suggest?

Probably not, The way your going to know is when driving the vehicle if it feels too stiff. Clearly the sway bar keeps the vehicle from swaying side to side in corning or maneuvering and if it feels stiffer then you may want to lengthen them. I have installed leveling kits on many vehicles and have never needed to lengthen the links.

If it were me and you want to extend them, I have been using Rough County lately. I am not sure they have ones for your vehicle but I have been impressed with their stuff. Clearly there are many options out there but I have just been using them lately. I don't endorse them, just telling you my experience.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

I ordered a whole suspension kit including inner and outer tie rod ends new sway bar links etc. If longer ones are not needed then I won't buy them and just use the replacement ones for the originals I just wanted to make sure everything was going to fit before tearing it all down and being stranded with sway bar links that were to short, lol. Thanks for your help.
