I noticed that Az-Jk had issues with his front swaybars. They where badly tilted and angled.... i have no idea why that happend in his set up. Mine are mostly straight up and down, maybe a very slight tilt to the right with the axle of center by that 1/4-1/2 inch but not bad. If this happens i would almost stop take a breath get some coffee and come back and look at it because it shouldn't do that.

When I’m confident all is OK I’ll be looking for a run up there!
Edit:
Oh, I thouhgt you were heading up tomorrow - not later this year. With any luck I will be able to make it!

Just got back from flexing it a bit. I didn’t see any rubbing or over stretching of anything. The ride felt to be the same as stock - which is great! Looks like the lift is a keeper! 
Just a couple of pics:

Update.
I noticed some very minor rubbing of the lower part of the rear sway bar link on the bracket:
So I got some lock washers (since that are fatter and not as wide as regular washers), bent them to make the flat, and put one on the bottom:
And one on the top (it's easier to grease to top now too):

joe,
how does the angle of the drive shaft look with this lift... as posted before there seem to be little or no issues, but just curious. the lift creates a good stance for your jeep... good choice.

I really do like the lift - TeraFlex makes a great kit, and you can’t beat their support!

...Oh, yeah the little black clips - I forgot to mention them. You are correct, the instructions say to disconnect them, but don’t say if they should be reconnected. I contacted TeraFlex and talked to Joe, and he checked what they did on their Jeep and they re-connected the black clips, so I did the same.
If it stretched a bit more maybe the plugs would have pulled out, but why chance it? I looked under the frame/body and noticed there is a fair amount of slack on the inside of the frame, so I pulled some through to the outside of the frame to give the outside more slack:
