Default URGENT help: teraflex front sway bark link install

Hi all, i'm in the middle of installing my 1.5" leveling kit from teraflex. I am having problems with the tightening the upper bold of the front sway bar. The new link came with a nut attached to the top bolt but it just keeps spinning when I try to tighten. do i need to peel back the rubber boot to find a tightening nut??

I have not done a teraflex but the others I have done have a thin hex head that needs a thin wrench to keep the shaft from turning. Some times an impact driver or an air ratchet will work instead depending on access.

I figured it out. There is a hex nut hole inside the bolt at the end to hold it tight while tightening the nut.

I did the 1.5 spacer kit. Looks good. How about you?

Same kit here. New tires get mounted on Tuesday, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Just curious if the new sway bar links go on backwards from the factory. I installed mine this past weekend and that's the only way I could see them going according to the directions. Havnt had any problems yet and I love it.

Mine were the same, I could only get them in upside down.

Not much reason it would matter... but they seem to be just fine still.
