Default Wheel Rubbing with Terraflex 2.5 inch Budget Boost

Hi guys,

I'm driving a 2011 JK Sahara

I installed a 2.5 inch Terraflex Budget Boost a little while ago... It's the kit that came with the extra sway bar links.. You add new links to the back end and take rear stock ones to the front.

After installing I now have a scraping noise when I turn hard to the left. I can see marks on the wheel rim where the bolt head in the eye on the top of the sway bar link is rubbing.

I'm starting to think that he links are to long. Is you link mounted on the inside or outside of the sway bar?

My links are 12 inches centre to centre. Can someone measure theirs for me ?

Phil


Has anyone had this problem

You can Mount the links inboard and it will be fine, however the instructions actually say to use wheel spacers with this kit...

I thought the instructions said wheel spacers (pretty sure every lift out there requires spacers for factory rims) and mount the bolts with the nuts inwards.
I don't own this, I've just been looking at all the lifts to see which one I want to go with.

They can be mounted inward without issue if required. Spacers are prefered though.
