Default Aev 2.5 lift and a 2dr 2012 question
Hey, I just had the aev 2.5" lift installed yesterday. So far so good, but when I got over a speed bump there's a metal banging sound in the rear.

I looked underneath and it looks like the rear track bar is hitting the axle. Is it possible the shop installed it backwards?

Could anyone with this lift tell me if your in the back of your jeep looking forward does the track bar bend toward the front or toward the back?

Right now mines bent toward the front, but it seems like if its flipped it won't touch(bent toward the back)

I appreciate it!

The bend should go toward the rear of the Jeep.

Would I need a lift to flip it my self? It's only 2 bolts. Or does it have to be raised?

Just get underneath and do it on the ground

If they screwed up something as simple as that you better make sure they torqued everything to spec WHILE it was sitting on the ground!
