TeraFlex 2.5" BB with no wheel spacers?

Yes, the last time I switched my tires around I didnt reinstall the spacers. It was fine, but I had to move the rear sway bar links to the inside of the bracket and swaybar.
Be warned though, I have read that some people could not install their links on the inside because the bracket holes were drilled too close to the axle. Apperently Jeep wasnt very consistent with the hole placement.

what bly109 said. I have been able to mount new links on the inside on some JK and not on others - it's wierd. of couse, if you just leave your existing links in place, you will not have any problem with rubbing but you do run the risk of over extending your front links when disconnected.

If needed (your bracket may support the links on the inside), you can drill a new hole in the bracket, or grind the TeraFlex link so it doesn’t' rub, but I didn't want to make those modifications. Also, with the links in the stock position, you don't have to worry about hitting your brake lines with the top of the link when flexing.

If you have an electronic front disconnect, and have the 2.5” lift, and still have the stock front sway bar links installed, then when flexing with the motor disconnected there have been people who have had their sway bar and links rotate and bent their sway bar links. If you moved the stock links to the front then they are long enough to keep from rotating and won’t get bent.

when i ran this kit, i didn't have any problems either but i have seen a few people who over extended their links and that caused them to fold foward and bend the links. i don't think it's a huge concern as, like i said, it never happend to me, but the possibility is there.
