Installing TF 2.5 coil kit NOW NEED HELP Please!
Evening guys, I am installing TF 2.5" coil kit for 4 Door JK. I am doing it now. I installed driver's side rear and now I am doing rear passenger side. I have a question, no matter what I do, I can't make the traction bar fit in the brackets. I already installed new bracket that came with the kit. The driver side traction bar end is very loose, but there is just not too much wiggle to fit bar in the new bracket. I am about 1/2" off. Please help.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If your referring to get the tb lined up
Also, have you tried disconnecting it all the way from the axle and sticking it in the frame first, then shift the axle? Did you get the axle mount bracket or the frame mount drop.

Ok, installed rear portion of the kit. Took it out of the garage and heard some rubber like rubbing noise and also some metal on metal rubbing (but this one is like every half circle of the wheel). Too tired to look it up now. Will be searching forum for answers tomorrow and look under the jeep to see what can it be.
Interesting thing those rubbing noises started after I installed passenger site. I did turn jeep around to back up in the garage when I installed driver's site and at that time I didn't hear any noises. So its got to be something on the pass side .

As mentioned above you really need wheels with 4.5" backspacing or less because even if you make some room by flipping the links to the inside of the swaybar and axle mount, they will still rub under flex.

I just put the same lift on mine yesterday too. I had some issues too with the trackbar but finally got it. The rubbing could be from the sway bar links but not too sure. Got any pics? Where in SF are you?
