i have a 97 jeep cherokee and i recently installed a 3 inch lift with 31" tires and my sway bar where the stabilizer link in the left hits the spring when going fast or going up large hills i changed the sway bar and both links and still hits any ideas ? The kit came off an older jeep but the older jeep didnt have this probem/

Did you install an adj track bar,just going up this much will allow the front end to move over,mine is doing the same thing and that is what was reccomended to me to get the axle back in the center.

You can drive, but it will not be very safe. You won't be able to pass the Consumer Reports emergency avoidance test. In other words, you will have excessive body roll and reduce the safety factor of the vehicle.

dont want to burst your bubble but those relocation brackets are no good they put added stress on the already weak frame and can bend and flex pretty much i would recomend an adjustable track bar
