I started working on installing my 2.5" Teraflex lift on my 2 door. I got the 4 door kit for some extra lift and for the ability to handle heavier bumpers when I get them. I also added rear upper adjustable control arms and front adjustable lower control arms.

We started the lift on the back and noticed once everything was tightened up that the sway bar links were touching the frame. I'm guessing this is a matter of the upper control arms not being adjusted properly, is that correct? I also have both front and rear adjustable track bars. From what I understand, the track bar only centers the axle, it doesn't turn it to help with the driveline angles, right?

Here are pictures of both sides touching just a little bit.



1. Is this a problem?
2. Will shortening the control arms a little more (almost all the way down) correct this?

 

It's hard to tell from my phone but your links should be like this idk if you put them on the inside or not

 

Did you install the links per Teraflex's recommendation during the install? Do both the front and rear links touch the frame? It's possible it's a control arm issue but I'm not 100% sure how much adjusting them will pull those links away from making contact. That's not the reason to adjust the UCAs or LCAs. Someone else will chime in soon.

 

They are on the inside, like the instructions. Are yours on the outside (near wheel?)

 

Yes mine are your instructions said on the inside that's wired the front is on the inside

 

The rear uppers shortened all the way are still longer than stock so if you have them extended you probably have to pull them in. List what you set them at, it may help because something is way off.

 

Did you do that b/c of the rubbing like I have?

 

I honestly can't remember I think mine were like that stock its been a while

 

I think they are 18 3/8", which is what they say for a 3" Teraflex kit for a 2 door. Again, I got the 2.5" but got the 4 door model, so I went with this. It's close to all the way in, but I suppose it could go a little more.

 

No expert by any means. Seems like you should shorten the control arms. Does it seem like your rear axle moved back alot? Seems maybe moving it forward would correct it
