FYI, since installing the new KM2's I am now getting slight tire rub on my front fenders at full stuff while turning. I might add another 1/4" or just leave it since it's very minor. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
Rear swaybar links- my previous BB did not include them, and I ran a long time like that. When we put my wife's TF kit on her JK we didn't even bother putting on the longer rear links since I had no issues with running my stock rear ones. Up front however, I think one really should get new links, like the JKS quick disconnects that are adjustable.
For the rest of us we should be purchasing quick disco's for the front anyway so it's not really a problem, plus it's only when discoed, while on the road it's fine.

Thanks...thought that was what it might be, so I will pick up a package of them before we start the project. I am going to assume I will need some bolts and washers too, but will wait until I get under there for a look-see.
Appreciate all the help.

No, the TF BB comes with new bumpstops that replace the stock ones. They are made of a really hard rubber compound- pretty similar to the compound used in hockey pucks (maybe not quite as hard). The bumpstops that were in my previous BB were also that same hard rubber. Unfortunately I have promised my old BB to one of my friends, otherwise I would just take those bumpstops and cut them down to the size I want.
That's what i see in the pics anyway.
For the rear it's always been a 2.5" pad on the rear axle that still hit's the factory stop. I've never heard seen a TF BB kit that replaced the bump stops.
But we are getting off topic here anyway.
I'm personally wanting to get the RC spring kit to replace the BB and shock adapters, but utilizing the rest of the TF kit I already have installed.

We (Rough Country) actually have brakeline relocation brackets, rear track bar brackets, ext. rear sway bar links and/or disconnects. They are not included in the kit, but can be added for cheap.
On our test vehicles, the brakeline relocation brackets were not needed. We fully flexed out on the RTI ramp and still had slack.

I am glad you like the kit. Your Jeep looks great.
IMHO, it is an awesome deal @ $329
I just think that we have done a poor job letting everyone know that we do have some add-on items for the kit.

I think you need to talk with the sales guy(gal) and have them let the customers know what options are available when we order the kits.
