I do have a question, I don't have a grease gun (yet), is it bad if I drive around without greasing the sway bar links for a couple of days until I can get them lubed up?
You'll be fine.

I was out of grease when I installed mine. Drove it for about five days before I got around to greasing it. You'll be okay unless you are going to drive cross country with the joints dry.

I would be willing to bet you could drive forever without grease. They may wear a little without grease, but don't think it will be the end of the world if you don't grease em right away.

I just picked up a grease gun today at harbor freight on sale for $7.99. It usually runs $9.99. It is their medium sized gun, the replacement grease tubes are 6 to 8 inches long and they sell them in picks of 3 for reference.

I figured I wouldn't need anything bigger because I have the leveling kit as well and those are the only 4 zerks on my rig.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I woke up this morning sore as heck! I'm only 28 and it decent shape but every muscle aches right now! Not to mention the busted knuckles from the wrench slipping off one of the say bar links!

Check out this thread for pictures: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/teraflex-leveling-pics-94864/. I don't have any pictures but there are several of others.

The install was fairly straight forward. It took me a while as I was alone and could have benefited from a larger floor jack. I had to unbolt the rear brake lines from the frame to allow the axle to drop far enough to get the springs out. I had to use a pry-bar to compress the rear springs some to reinsert them with the spacers though (only for the rear). It's not rocket science and the directions are helpful (although they don't mention the need to disconnect the brake lines).
