Default Need help Teraflex 2.5" lift w/ shocks

So its my first big project on the Jk... bought all the tools to get it done. Still dont have the new rims and tires but I decided to put the lift on anyways. As I was putting it together I noticed that the new rear sway bar links were going to hit the factory tires and sure enough they are! So Ive got the install in hold. I've been reading directions and looking at the photos like crazy! Was wondering if anyone had any input for me? Should I wait to get rims and tires and then there won't be an issue? Here's photos... (hope they show)

Try moving the sway bar links to the inside of the sway bar until you can get new wheels or spacers.

(aftermarket wheels with 4.5” backspacing or less are required).
If moving the links inside does not give the clearance you need, then just use the stock links until you get new rims or spacers.
