I plan on placing an order in the next week or so and I want to get everything I need at one time.

1. Do I need to install the sway bar links to the inside?

2. What size spacers will I need to prevent the rubbing?

Thanks
Yes

1.5"

For what it's worth, I was not pointing blame at any manufacturer; Jeep or anyone else. In fact, TF should be commended to come forward and address this issue. However, I just do not know if I want to personally take risks with my brand new Jeep.

I didn't need to drill any new holes with the extended links and I installed on the inside. The Issue I see is not Teraflex it's the lack of QC at jeep as it seems like everyone is getting different results even for other BB manufactures. Need a new hole or maybe not, Break line rubs but maybe not for you.
Only thing that is a definate is if you run stock rims and plan to flex to full droop then you need spacers and or new rims with less than 5 inch backspacing.

I decided if I was paying a couple of hundred dollars for the spacers I might as well get some Rock Crawler rims.

My 07 Sahara(May 07 build date) came stock with 17's. I would not drive it with the ghetto 18's. Serious.

Teraflex, is this your recommended solution to the brake line rub issue? It seems we can't put the new links on the inside.
The new links will fit on the inside in the rear. That is how the kit is designed and will work that way. Sorry if I didn't get right back to you on this. I've been going over photos, talking to R&D and several staff members on this issue.

I am a visual learner. Can I get some pics of the issue and also the hole that some of you are drilling. I am also unclear on theis inside/outside stuff that some of you talk about with the track bar. I have my pucks in the closet right now and I need to order the rest of my gear. I am with the other member that stated that he will install and order parts as needed I guess. Makes since to me.
