SO i have most of the JBA 4" lift kit installed, still waiting on rear sway bar links. That said, I installed the trackbar and it seems a pretty piss poor design or I am missing something. There are no bushings or spacers on the ends and they just seem too loose in there. For those who have installed the trackbar, have you run into this or did your come with something that mine did not?

For some reason your pic only shows up when i post a reply..
I wouldn't say its a piss poor design, looks like you need to add some washers or sleeves to fill that gap, you sure some sleeves weren't included? I can't see JBA leaving it like that.

I am checking with them now. Was wondering if anyone had similar setup. Problem I see though is the heim joint wont flex if you put washers on it. Somehow it would need to be braced in there while still allowing it to flex. The stock ones had bushings which makes sense. Thinking I may just need to find a couple of squishy bushings but who knows. Still waiting on JBA to reply.

small washers or a piece of metal pipe cut to length that just slides over the bolt would work

They say there is a metal bushing that is suppose to go in there that did not ship with the kit. Will get that from them and go from there.

Metal spacers came in the thats exactly what was needed. Now all that left is an alignment and i need to track down some wonderful metal on metal sounds coming from the rear. That said, even with the alignment issues and such, the ride on the Liberty is much much smoother. Think once I get a couple of these minor things figure out this will be an awesome upgrade to the jeep. Thanks to you guys for all your information. I could never have done this install on my own without the work you have all done to get the information put out there.
