can you guys do me a favor? take a pic of your drivers side coil spring
like this so i can see the gap you have between spring and frame

I don't have a pic
but your axle is tilted forward to much
thats why your spring is hitting

ya i tilted it back a little bit today but lossening the control arm bolts and winching from axle to axle then tighting the bolts back up and i got a 1/4" gap between spring and the trac-bar bracket, but thats all i can go because i dont have enough adjustment backwards.

i was just wondering if 1/4" gap between coil spring and trac-bar bracket is what you guys have or do you have more??

mike37

you should be able to push the bottoms out
that will tilt the top back

Adjusting wheelbase doesnt look to be the problem. From what i see in the pic your bumpstop tower is close to the outside (tire side) of the coil spring indicating your axle isnt centered under the rig. This is what an adjustable tracbar will do for you.

Do you have one? Can you take a pic dead on from the front showing how straight up the coil springs sit?

my coil hits the tracbar mount only on full flex.

i have a rustys adjustable bar and yes it is dead on straight. if your wondering how i know, well from center of the tire to the frame rail in the same spot on both sides is exactly 14" a friend and i spent 2 hours getting that perfect when i put the new trac bar in, so that cant be it, but i did find a solution i just went ahead and bought the rustys HD bracket for the trac bar(the flat one) to replace that one so it wont even come close to hitting it then.

HA I BEAT THE JEEP! CLEVER BASTARD HAD ME STUMPED FOR A WHILE THERE BUT I JUST THUNKED A LITTLE BIT HARDER
so now i just wait for the bracket to come which wont take too long but i gotta deal with the crunchy rubbing noise until then lol!
