Rear swaybar links extreme angle after rear u/l control arms
Hey peeps,
I've ran into a small issue, I recently put 37s on and rear upper and lower RK control arms to help push axle back to clear the 37s.
Now my rear swaybar links are at a crazy angle that doesn't look so good.
How do I go about fixing this? Move swaybar back a few inches?

Nice the swaybar back. If you don't they will more than likely bind up during flex and bend because the axle housing will make contact with them. I had the same issue.

How much lift are you running. If 2.5" like in your sig you dont have to move your axle back at all just trim front and rear pinch seam and youll be fine. I run the same setup and dont hit anything ide move your axle back to its stock location. Your running 37s not 40s no need to stretch out your wheelbase

Personally, I removed my rear sway bar. You might try that and see how it feels. Seems like 2 door JKs can't really tell it's not there. I know I can't.

Running 2.5 lift, relatively light setup so I may have netted more. The axle doesn't look to be pushed back too far, still looks centered. I'll upload a picture when I get back. I'm going to try and roll it like oleskool said, if that fails probably remove it.
