Hey guys I just put a 3" rc lift on my buddys xj and it came with swaybar drop brackets. After everything was said and done the passenger side link is hitting the coil spring but the drivers side has plenty of clearance. Any ideas?

 

post pictures?

 

Caster off/spring not straight? Maybe link is bent? Pic.

 

Is it still the stock tracbar? Had that problem on mine the axle wasn't perfectly centered under the jeep so it rubbed on one side.

 

Yep that's exactly what it is. The axle shifted a little to the drivers side bc it is the stock track bar. Gonna put an adjustable IRO tb on it. Thanks guys!

 

3 inch shouldnt really require you to move the trac bar

 

just get the ttrack bar relocation bracker...

 

Yes it does. Why wouldn't it? The factory unit is not adjustable. Being that its attached to a fixed point on the drivers side frame rail and the passenger side axle, when you add distance between the axle and frame you have to add length to the track bar.

Otherwise its going to be too short and it will pull the axle to the drivers side...

And you'll have the issue the OP has...

 

I put a Rusty's adjustable trac bar made for a 3" lift in mine, works fine.

 

X2 I figured that was the problem before I even asked. It's just that I've never used drop brackets before and wanted a second opinion before I told him to get an adjustable track bar.

 

So the track can be the problem with the sway bar link hitting the coil spring. But could it be that caster could be off too?

 

trac bar .....

 

I'd say throw out the sway bar altogether at 3" and get a nice track bar
and if you get DW flip the tie rod over the knuckle.
