Default Teraflex Front Swaybar Link Help! (with pics added)

I'm installing the TF leveling kit today and I'm confused as to how the new front swaybars should be installed. Does anyone have a pic of correctly installed front swaybars? Thanks!

The leveling kit doesnt come with a sway bar, just the end links (which go on just like the stockers). Are you also installing the TF S/T sway bar?

Sorry, I was in a hurry. Yes, it's the swaybar links. I think i got them in correctly, but the washers threw me off. I used the washers with the new bolt but that didn't leave many threads to screw the nut to. I'm no mechanic, shade tree or otherwise, so this was quite an experience doing this today. Got the front done and started on the back but had to put everything back to stock because I was running out of time and couldn't get enough droop in the back axle; may have to rent some coil compressors... Teraflex' instructions leave a lot to be desired!

Few tips for the back.

1: Remove the bolt that holds the brake lines on, this will help with droop.
2: Remove the 2 bolts that hold the e-brake bracket on to the underside of the body. This will allow for a LOT more droop.
3: Unbolt the axle end of the trac-bar. If the previous two don;t get you enough, this combined with them will.

Oh, and I am assuming you unbolted the shocks.

Thanks. I'm going to tackle it tomorrow if I have time. I'll also post a picture of the front swaybar links to see if I have them installed correctly.

That looks right, you should get the quick disco harware, makes it much easier.

Nevermind then. Didn't realize you had a Rubi.
