Teraflex 4" Suspension System Question
I recently had the 4" Suspension system, from Teraflex, installed. I fully articulated my jeep on the right side today and the tire/wheel or something bent the upper nipple that the sway bar disconnect is attached to. What suggestions do any of you have? I am running MT Classic II, 17" 37X12.5R17.
Would relocating the nipple higher up, in the wheel well maybe, be a good solution?
Thanks,
JKevbo

I am referring to the storage post behind the bumper. The sway bar link was disconnected and attached to the upper storage post when this occurred.

Well, if it's just the passenger side that is hitting the post, I would be willing to bet that your axle wasn't completely centered after you installed your lift. Also, how much back spacing do you have on your wheels?

I've got the same lift, same size tires, and even the same wheels and I've never had anything come close to hitting the storage post at full flex. I'm not even sure you can keep one end of the sway bar connected to the axle and put the other end on the storage post. Some pics would be a TON of help.

After reading everyone's comments I will try and get pictures.
Both sides were disconnected from the low post and connected on the upper storage post.
How would I know whether the axle was centered or not?
If I look at both wheels they appear to extend past the fender flares at the same distance.
The backspacing is 4.5
The sad part is that I have not even made it to any trails yet. I was screwing around on wall at the office. Real exciting, as you can imagine.

My understanding is that the sway bar disconnect button is no longer used after you install the aftermarket lift. Maybe I am incorrect, but that is my understanding.
