agree..your bracket is on backwards...flip it over and it should be fine

 

Just my comments, as my kit is sat on the garage floor waiting for the Doc to give me the ok on my resent surgery.

But I have read the instructions, sooo many times.

The brackets are identical and are not handed.

Picture in the instructions shows the same bracket as yours, installed as yours.



So something else going on here, check out the AEV forum.

Just a thought, what was it like before the instal?

 

I think your sway bar is just shifted slightly to pax side. Unhook them, work the bar ends up and down, and see if you can shove it a little to drivers side. I am assuming non rubi. It may be that your axle shifted that much with the lift. CM

 

Thx. It is a rubicon. I did have a professional shop install it. I contacted them and described the problem and was told it was fine. It doesn't look right to me.

 

From a few people it looks like the pass. side bottom bracket is installed incorrectly. If you look at the drivers side, I think, it's flipped. Anyone else see it that way?

 

Imo it looks like the passenger side Track bar relocation bracket is on upside down...I'm not positive, but it looks like the steering stabilizer is the the hole for the track bar and vice versa, which would be shoving your axle to one side and binding all the suspension. Comparing your photo to the drawing, it looks like the sway bar link brackets are installed correctly but i think the track bar bracket is on wrong...any way you could post a few more pics? I have an rc 4" lift so it may be different but it may help give an idea on what's not right...I'm gonna go snap some pics of mine now for reference.

 

Sorry having phone problems...trying to upload

 

The swaybar exstensions are on correctly. Also, there is no fr tracbar bracket with this kit...the tracbar is also correct in the factory location.
You can try mounting your passenger swaybar exstension on the outside of the tab instead of inside...but something is causing this shift??? Normally this lift doesn't cause that much axel shift.
Mine mounted perfectly vertical. I had less than 1/4" axel shift.

Was the install done on level ground with bolts torqued under vehicle weight on level ground?

 

In the O.P. pictures, why does it appear the top few wraps of the coil are completely compressed? Is this normal for the AEV XP 2.5?

The compressed springs probably have nothing to do with the strange swaybar angle, but still looks kinda unusual.

 

I agree here, it almost appears that the links are too short and the springs were forced down to hook up the links....IMO
