Does appear to anyone else that my sway bar end links are at an extreme angle? Should I switch the bottom to the opposite side to straighten it out?

The links need to come in the inside of your axle tabs there. Unbolt the bottoms, flip them to the inside at the bottom, re-bolt and torque.

It does not make sense that angle. I had a TF leveling kit installed and It does not look like that. I'm trying to upload a pic to post for you. Bear with me.

Thanks everyone! Switching them over tonight. Last, why did I only net 1" in the rear and 2.5" in the front? I know the kit is suppose to level out the jeep but I mean come on!!! The ass of the jeep still looks like it is sagging a bit even before it "settled." The coils look like they are sitting properly, I can't imagine what else it could be. All other similar kits said they had 3" in front and 2" in back. Any ideas?

Before and after. That's a perfect example of why I did the work myself. So that next time I know what to do. Now that I look at the before and after pics, I realize I'm a moron. Haha.
