Finished 2.5 TF BB install have a few Q's
What a day! But well spent glad I did it myself but got a few Q's that someone can hopefully answer for me. Firstly did we put the rear sway links in correctly?
We pulled them in and out a few times but this seemed to be best but on one side the sway bar is very close to the tire:
Secondly whats this bag of nuts / bolts / washes for! It is marked HRWBLKJK I used JKS discos up front I dont think this would mean left over bolts however.
Lastly heres the before and after.
Before
After (couldnt resist going for a run hence the mud!)
I will still need to pull my rear sway bar links as I didnt install the grease nipples and they are inaccessible. Im going out tomorrow if I shouldnt without what ever is in that unopened bag please let me know!
Couldnt have done it without wayoflife's write up thanks muchly! Its amazing my TF BB instructions come on ONE sheet double sided the JKS discos instructions are 3 pages.
Thanks,
Dave

Looks good and you did put your rear sway bar links on correctly but it looks like you turned the links wrong way around (front to back) cause you should have the grease nipples facing towards the back of the truck.

First off, jeep looks great!
Alot of people run them on the inside with stock wheels, plus I dont think the rear links look any closer then the stock ones did.
The bag of bolts look like they are from the rear bumpstops.... Did you install the new bumpstps? Maybe they gave you an extra bag o bolts.
