Question Teraflex 2.5" BB Lift Question

I just installed my lift with the spring spacers and shock extensions.
There were a set of sway bar links with the parts that are about 2 inches longer than the stock rear sway bar links.
Should i take the stock REAR sway bar links and install them on the front and put the aftermarket longer ones in the rear?

I bought the kit used with no instructions, and the only installation instuctions i could find online didnt have anything about moving the sway bar links.

The longer ones you received from Teraflex should replace the stock rears. The stock rears then replace the front sway bar links...as you said.

Here is a write up from Wayolife that might help, I'm not sure if it mentions the sway bar links either though...???

They are mainly for the Rubicons, the fronts tend to "flip" the wrong way when you are disconnected offroad. If you don't have a rubi it's not as important since you actually remove the links to disconnect.

That being said I did replace my rears with the longer ones since I thought they put to much stress on the rear swaybar mounts (frame) and were possibly restricting flex slightly.

I do have a Rubicon and i found out the front sway bar POPS into the disconnect mode since i didnt swap out the sway bar links.

That little note should be added to the write up.

Alls good now.
