Default Teraflex BB install with shock adapters

I am doing this install tomorrow. The instructions that come with the kit are garbage. I have the write up on the install from project JK which is decent. I was wondering if there are any other write ups that are any more detailed?? Any links would be great!

Also, the kit includes what looks like a sway bar link. From the instructions, I think it's for the rear sway bar. Is this correct? Here is a pic:


Also, the kit came with one spacer or sleeve type of thing. I can't see where it goes after skimming the install write up. Anyone know where this belongs?


Thanks for any help!!!

Yup you should have rear swaybarlinks included seeing as u will move your stock ones to the front, and that spacer goes in the drop down bracket.

Thanks for the quick reply!
In the project jk write up on this install he doesn't install the drop down bracket or the new sway bar links.
From what I understand, I'm supposed to install the new sway bar links in the rear and move the oem rear links to the front, is that right?
I'm installing the JKS sway bar discos at the same time, I believe they replace the front sway bar links so I can just get rid of the old oem rear ones that get replaced right?
Also, since that write up doesn't have the drop down bracket install, I haven't seen any info on it until now. Is it correct that I will have to use the supplied template and drill a 3/8" hole to install this bracket?

Are there any other more detailed write ups on this install?

Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated.

I kept all my stock stuff, just incase but if you have new disconects then throw them on. But yeah normally your stocks would go up front. Also I just went and had the drop down bracket welded on, but thats just me, but yeah that is what the template is for. Also make sure youre brake line brackets swoop to the inside of the jeep and that your bump stops are faceing the correct way since the write up sucks on this...ask me how I know. Other than that it is pretty straight forward. Enjoy.

Thanks for the tips bud!! As for the bump stops, I should install them so that the overhang on the top side is towards the front of the jeep right?

Yep, facing forward

17. Install new rear bump stop spacer by placing
the spacer on the axle pad lining up both
holes with the overhang part of the pad facing
forward.

You've been a huge help, thanks so much. Hopefully no problems come
up during the install, but I'm going to take my sweet time doing it. Thanks again.
