Default TeraFlex upper rear control arm install? Need assistance.

I cannot make heads nor tails out of the instructions that came with these.

Both arms have stickers on them which indicate sticker side up. Both stickers say driver arm joint to frame. How do I mount these?

Drivers side: Johnny joint at frame-I think. Elbow out?

Passengers side: Johnny joint at axle- I think? Elbow in?

With the UCA elbow out they rub on the tires. With the elbows in the elbows rub the frame.

Looking at the TeraFlex 4" lift install on project-jk it looks like the elbows (both sides) go toward the inside like the stock arms are mounted. The stickers TF slapped on my UCA might be on the wrong side as I cannot have elbows in and stickers on the top of the bar as indicated in the instructions.

Help?

Elbows should bend in

Look on the TF website and they have Like 7 videos on installation of a long arm kit

Same principal...I think it's video 6 or 7 you want to watch

The stickers stuck on the arms are messing me up. I think TF put them on the wrong side. To mount these on my JK as are shown on Project_JK I have to do just the opposite of what the TF instructions say to do.

WTF?

Joints to the frame, elbows in and your good regardless of the stickers. When packed, whomever put two stickered for one side and not opposites.Doesn't matter arms the same.
