Swaybar links hitting track bar bracket
So I just recently installed my new bumper and the swaybar is hitting the bolt that goes through the last sleeved hole in the frame rail, strange enough I can maybe find a way around this. But upon further inspection I found one of the many noises this thing makes the swaybar links bolts are hitting the track bar bracket and I'm really not sure what the fix is for this. This jeep has some kind of 3" lift and these appear to be some sort of longer swaybar link. It appears to me these are making the swaybar sit way to high at a pitch and it seems the swaybar is shifted further to the right side causing all this binding. Ideas for a fix anyone i've tried hammering the swaybar over to get it to move in its bushings a bit it dont budge. I cant be the only one who has went through this?

1. Scrap the swaybar, thats always the first thing I do
2. Cut, Shorten, Weld the links, you'll be able to turn the sway bar down about an inch which will yield more clearance.

How is the other side of the sway bar. They can shift in the mount and reduce the clearance on the other side. I have had them shift over in the shop and make it to were it almost hits one tire. if the clearance is on the other side just hit it back into place.
