Default How do the rear swaybar links mount up?

So, I'm stillfiddling with this TF BB install. I thought I was finished (save for the trackbar bracket issue) but when I went to test-drive it last night, I heard a sound like the parking-brake was dragging while backing down the driveway. It was dark, so I decided to wait until today to sort it out.

I just looked and the problem is that the bolt for the swaybar disco link is pressing against the rim on the driver's side. I currently have the link sitting "outside" the swaybar. Should it be on the inside? I had disconnected the both so I couldn't reference the other side when I went to install the new links. Thanks!

it doesnt matter, except for in this case. move the links to the inside. if you had wheels with 4.5 or less of BS, it wouldnt matter. swap the links and have the bolt start on the wheel side.

When I took it on a test-drive, I saw a stock JK sitting at an apartment building near my house. The thing looks lowered compared to mine. Amazing what 2.5" will do.
