Teraflex Leveling Kit Swaybar links too close to springs (rubs in some cases)
Hi guys. I installed the Teraflex Leveling Kit and a set of Rubicon Shocks and Springs last night on my 2010 JKU. Unfortunately, the swaybar link on the driver side is extremely close to the spring and rubs if I put weight on the front bumper and there is a slight curve in the spring as it is sitting. I did release tension on the spring due to other issues and the spring came out straight.
I have read almost every major post that deals with the issue but have yet to read if anyone actually solved the issue. I've seen many different solutions to the issue. I am guessing I have a couple options:
1) Loosen front control arms and shake the hell out of the Jeep on level terrain
2) Do the above + add an adjustable front trackbar...I can tell that the axle is off center.
3) Take off the leveling kit and just survive with the Rubi shocks and springs (obviously not an issue).
I have not seen anyone solve this issue on any of the posts I have read. Maybe I have not read them all yet. I have seen guys scrap the leveling kit for the coil lift, etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I don't have an answer to fix it but I has a leveling kit before my 2.5" lift and I didn't have that problem with either one so you must of did something wrong during the install. The track bar should be fine with a leveling kit. I still have stock track bar with 2.5" lift and 1" spacers.

This is a frustrating issue. Some people have had the problem I do, and others nil. Maybe I'll just take 1" off the front and see how that works out.

Did you try to contact TF? They are on the forum

my front spring wasn't straight at first, but once we jacked it back down and tightened everything back up it straightened out.
Is it possible you have the front sway bar link in incorrectly? It had a slight bend in it?
