33" stock height. rubbing on swaybar links when disconnected
i have a jku at stock height with 33's and wheels with 4.25 backspacing
today was the first time i disconnected. i noticed once or twice i heard a rubbing sound. i noticed that my tire at full flex is awfully close to my sway bar links.
before you mention, yes i ziptied my swaybar and swaybar links up. i turned my swaybar as high as it can go out of the way of my tire and tied my links to my swaybar.
i have heard of folks puncturing their tires with their swaybars so i ended up reconnecting to avoid the risk of that happening.
looking at my setup am i rubbing on my links? im not going to disconnect until i figure this out, last thing i need is two popped tires.

how am i supposed to tie it against the frame rail? very large zipties? i thought turning the swaybar all the way up would keep it out of the way

Like karl said. Without pics at full flex, it's unknown what really hitting. Could be your fenders for all we know. If you flex it up, get out and look, you'll know.
I did read your OP and i answered the question you previously posted. You were already told to tie them to the frame rail. You asked what to use and I answered. If your going to be pissy at people trying to help, your on your own. It's something you should be able to see for yourself anyways.

unfortunately i cant get a picture. i will try to explain it as well as i can.
i disconnected the swaybar links at the axle and folded them into the sway bar and ziptied them together. then i folded my swaybar all the way up, so my swaybar was basically at this angle '/' the lower end being front of the car.
so am i doing it wrong? i am supposed to keep it like '_'?

It's ok. I also apologize.
Run them parallel to the frame. Aiming towards the rear. I don't think your swaybars are hitting the tires if you put it in the right place. If your hearing something, I'd put money on your fenders. I'm sure you can get a friend to take a look when flexed.
