You can see in this picture there is rubbing on the frame from the old sway bar links that teraflex lift came with. I used the shorter bolts from the TF links and RE1157 sway bar links. They allow mounting on both inside mounts. They allow the clearance for the tire and also keep the bolt off the frame.



Nearly full stuff and there is still room to get it even tighter but didnt have anything to get it even higher!



Driver side at street level.



You can see here the tire was rubbing the sway bar but with the new links it pulls the sway bar to the right and clears the tire. Also with new front and rear track bars the axle is centered and not rubbing any longer.



Right side at street level.



Clears the track bar mount with tons of room to spare.

Here is what the old one looked like. It rubbed both driver tire and frame at stuff.

Is this for the Teraflex 2.5 inch BB? I see your red coils in the pics and those sway bar links look long.


Where did you get your RE links and how much $ ? RE1157


What are you using on the front? I am thinking Teraflex quick disco for 0-3 inch.

Thanks for the info and the great post with pictures.

It looks like the sway bar link is mounted wrong. You used the factory bolt instead of the bolt provided and it's in the wrong direction.

I have a four inch lift now. I had the links for the 2.5 on there and they worked but rubbed. The links were 30 bucks from northridge4x4.com
ON the front I am using the stock rear links with the rubicon sway bar. I am however considering moving the Teraflex links from the rear to the front so I can make sure that will not be my limiting factor.

Your welcome.

Nope that is your bolt, promise. The washer makes it appear like a stock bolt but it was yours. This is only a pic of one way I tried it. It rubbed the frame worse the other way and if this is the wrong direction, the right direction makes the frame rub worse.

However, as you can see from my pics above, your bolts worked great with the RE1157 links and I no longer have any rubbing.

If the threaded side of the bolt is pointing inboard it will rub the frame. It ONLY makes sense to have the flatter head of the bolt on the inboard to avoid frame rubbing. Tires never had a problem.

Seems like the link should be either on the inside top and bottom or on the outside top and bottom.

JulietKilo

Its funny how everyone has a fix but never backs it up with any of their own pic and proof. TF links will not mount both top and bottom links on the inside. Here is why.

Rubimon

I dont have the teraflex links to know. But when we did my lift I had to put the links on the inside until I got the proper back spaced wheels, then I moved them to the outside. I had them cattywompass like yours by mistake for a little while. I dont know if it is a problem or not, just seems like they would bind a little. It is obvious that Jeep lined the connection points up on the same plane for a reason.
