sway bar link question
I have the teraflex bb and i put the new rear sway bar links on the inside of the swaybar and axle mount. I want to put it on the outside. It will have more clearance and looks like its supposed to be on the outside like the stock. The project jk write up says to put it on the inside.
Question is: do i have to jack up the jeep again to take them off? Or will they freely come undone with the jeep on the ground?
Thank you!!!

The Jeep doesnt have to jacked up / rested on jack stands. So as long as you can get to the links you are fine. Case in point is when it comes time to disconnect the front sway bar links. The jeep is always on the ground. The question now is will you have enough clearance to get to the nuts/bolts with the rear tires still installed? The front is another story because you can always turn the wheel to the left or right if you need to gain more access...

That's what i thought! Thank you! I should have enough room for the bolts and nuts. The wheel has 3.5" backspacing or 3.25" backspacing. There's room i think. thank you guys for the quick responses!

You were right aldaman. I couldn't get to the bolts/nuts without jacking it up and taking the wheels off. took me no time to do it and i feel better having those links on the outside!
