I installed some adjustable links on my rear swaybar today( installed jks lift last week) when I flex the top of the sway bar links is contacting with my tire...can i swap the links to the inside of the sway bar or are bumpstops my only option?

I run factory wheels with spidertrax

Is your axle centered? Do you have an adjustable track bar or relocation bracket?

We need more info about your setup. When I had my 2.5" lift, I did have to flip my sway bar links to the inside.

When you flipped it that way was there any interference with the upper track bar mount and lower shock body? Thanks...

Do you have the stock wheels and tires? You may need more backspacing. A lift may also cause you to make tire contact. You can move the links to the inside of the sway bar and lower mounts for more clearance.

There was no contact. When you use the factory wheels even with a spacer, it needs to be moved inside
