We have a wrangler JK. We put on a 2.5 in lift kit. I'm an idiot and did not pay attention to the sway bar LINK angle prior to the upgrade. the sway bar seems fine but the linkages seem to both be canted in at what looks like a sharp angle. What shoud it be?

Interesting.. I have the same lift on a 13 JKU .. Will check it Monday for the same condition. AEV has always been good when I contact them for Tech assist.. use their contact form on the website.

 

It looks like you installed the links on the wrong side of the bracket. I think they’re supposed to be mounted on the inside.

 

I'm with SV_dude

 

I have always thought it chintzy that AEV chooses to use brackets to raise those ridiculously short factory links rather than just give the purchasers of their kit a decent new link, especially considering the price they charge. If you ever plan to disconnect while off road, you might just consider a decent set of quick disconnecting links.

 

They go to the Inside to the spring not to the wheel. Checked mine straight vertical. Move yours to the inside of the bracket.

 

thanks! I'll do that this week.

 

I'm sure in the future we'll get better links. We can only afford to do bit by bit. Just got wheels and tires. She does mall crawling at the moment but wants to try offroad soon. I don't know if she'll ever get into serious offroading but it's fun to wrench stuff!

 

Nobody ever posts the fix so here is the After.
