Teraflex bb problems w/ stock wheels
I installed the lift last week and noticed that the rear sway bar link bolts are rubbing on the stock rim... I'm not too worried about it as I'm waiting for my new shoes that will be here tues! But I just wanted to make sure I didn't install them wrong. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

Did you install the links on the inner portion of the bracket...Most kits recommend that if you are going to use the stock wheels due to the backspacing..Below is the pic..Hope this helps...

This is required because the back spacing on the factory wheels will cause your wheel weights and/or wheels themselves to rub on the upper link bolts.

Post a pic of your links.
But here are some quotes from the TF BB...

These kits will allow you to run up to a 35" tire (aftermarket wheels with a 4.5" backspacing or less are required). Fits all JK Wranglers including Rubicon and Unlimited.
27. Install new rear swaybar links, provided in the kit, on the inside of the sway bar and axle brackets with special care when placing the bolts to avoid rubbing on the frame or sidewall.
