Installed TF quick disco - driver side rub spring?!
So I just installed a leveling lift into my JK tonight (3/4" spacer up front) and put on my TF quick discos. So, basically other than the leveling lift I'm sitting stock height - and the TF links are a bit longer than stock... but are said to work with 0-3" lift...
Everything went fine and it was pretty easy wrenching, but the driver side quick disco seems to have some issues.
1) When disconnected and trying to connect to the 'dock' on the rad support it is pretty tight fit and/or no fit at all unless I loosen the bolt a turn or two - the passenger side clears just fine by 1".
2) There is very little clearance between the link and the spring. You can see in the two pics below how tight it is, this was when the car was up on the jack a bit still, but on the ground I can barely fit my finger behind the link between it and the spring - and I have small fingers.
It just seems like maybe the entire sway is bent and or pushed a little too far to the passenger side but not sure how that would happen?!

Any ideas? What did I do wrong? Do I have the hardware messed up on top or something? It was difficult following the TF instructions as far as the hardware and different size washers and such go...

do you have a better photo? it should look like this:

Here is a write up on the install. install
that washer doesn't go at the top. It shouldn't cause anything to happen though. It def isn't causing your swaybar to hit your spring.

Your axle could be off-center causing your trackbar to not be lined up properly causing the sway bar connect to hit your springs. I have the same issue right now... only fix is to get the axle centered.
