The problem I have is no instructions - what do I do with these nice new parts - where do I install them? What from my original purchase is discarted (if anything)?

Thanks!
Install the ones you just received on the rear. Move the rears to the front. Open beer. Smile.

Does anyone know if this issue also exists with 2" lifts such as the Superlift BB or the Rubicon Express 2" lift?

This new kit will now retail about $20-$25 more than before.

Now, if you have a kit now without these links, you can purchase them directly from TeraFlex for $15 shipped and the part number for them is: 001754410

Amazing what a simple phone call can get ya
That's great news. Mine ultimatley caused the failure of the electronic sway bar disconnect. At full droop the sway bar and link were fully extended, and when it compressed, it didn't fold either way. It basically jammed the swaybar, and broke it internally. Luckily I got a sympathetic jeeper for a service tech who replaced it under warranty, and I didn't have to dish out the $1700...

Questions...

1. Does the new package come with instructions?
2. If I were to get the kit without the Shock Extensions, would I still have the problem?
3. Does the kit work with stock shocks and no extensions, how much flex is lost?

I'm just wondering if the shock extension is worth it, or should I just run stick for a while and then buy new shocks in a year or so.

I take it this problem has now been resolved by using the Teraflex sway bar connect in the rear and moving the rear to the front?

I just got back from Moab today...I have the 4" superlift on my Jeep and mine did exactly what is being talked about. Their instructions told me to move my rear sway bar links forward and they had replacement rear links. My wife was driving at the time and we were coming down a moderate hill on Kane Creek when she said to me that she couldn't turn any more. We got out to look and the passenger side was underneath the crossover bar with the link wrapped around bar. I was amazed and told her how impressed I was as I couldn't figure out how she had done it. I straightened it all out and put it back together but my sway bar hasn't worked since. It says it is connected but definitely isn't. So this problem isn't just with BB. I was disconnected at the time and neither my wife or I recall going over anything that big where it would have drooped a whole lot before it happening.

Just my two cents
