So Teraflex says to mount the sway bar inside the sway bar and shock bracket as opposed to outside. Sure looks like there would be interference withe the shock on the inside. Which way is correct?

Both link ends should go on the outside of the mounts. The top one especially or you will have contact with your brake lines. The bottom will not interfere with the shock mounted on the inside but it will be more vertical on the outside.

Most every lift says to mount on the outside, which is your best option. With stock rims there can be issues with the link making contact. We had to run it inside till we got rims with less backpacking. Did not have any issues, even in travel/flex situations. This seems to be common as I have seen a lot of people do it. Try it on the outside, but check rim clearance.

They work just fine to the inside. I have installed many of these lifts. You cannot run extended swaybar links on the outside with stocks wheels unless you have spacers and this is why TF specifies inside. If you have aftermarket wheels or spacers run them to the outside. Last photo is factory rear link compared to new rear extended swaybar link.
