Coil spring hitting trac bar mount
My coil is hitting my trac bar mount on compression. I have 4.5" of lift (3" spring, 1.5" isolater). The spring is seated right and is centered on the isolater. The axle is centered, and aligned. I do have 1" longer lacs& ucas on it to center axle in wheelwell and fix pinion/caster angle. I had the same issue before I put the extera 1.5" of lift and control arms on. Is this just an annoying issue everyone has, or is it specific to my set-up?
