Default T.flex 2.5 BB kit missing something?

So I just opened up my 2.5 kit that I bought from 4wheel parts and it seems to be missing one of the two small aluminum cylinder that come with it. I really don't know what they're called but they're about 2 inches. They almost look like those slides musicians use to play guitar with. My camera took a dump so i can't post any pics.
All the parts came in pretty tight in the small compartments that the pieces of foam have to keep parts from moving all over. There should be 2 of those babies and I omly have 1. What should I do? Take back to the shop or try to find something that I could use instead?

if the parts list doesn't match what you got the safest thing to do is call the distributer you got it from. You don't want to be drivin around on something wasn't manufactured for a purpose. Missing parts are common in the world of aftermarket parts. congrats on the lift and post some pics when you're done

Bolt Crush Sleeve?

If you're correct, and a piece is missing - give TF a call and maybe they'll overnight you one.

That would be my guess also without seeing a photo of what you do have.

Same. Only got one in the BB kit Quadratec accidently sent me, and only got one in the real coil lift kit they finally sent.

In the two kits I got, both times it came riding on one of the shock extenders.

Effing-a. I totally missed that in the diagram when I installed mine. That's not going to be fun to reinstall (considering I had to hammer the bolt to get it to go through the first time). LOL OP, looks like it's part #2?

Sounds like the trackbar sleeve. Good luck with the install.

Why do you say there should be two? Or were you just asking?

The way it comes packaged - with the trackbar bracket bolt-sleeve (one piece) in the same styrofoam compartment as one of the shock extenders... it only appears as if the kit might be missing a 2nd one. OP should be all good.
