My front bump stops could be a little shorter, but I'm not going to fuss over a half inch or so up front.

I'll get the dremel out sometime and do a little Dr work.

I went through dremel bits like crazy trying to cut with it. A jigsaw with a metal blade works really well lol. I cut a good bit out.

X-factor ? If you used their numbers setting the lower arms +1" or 20 3/4
My arms were cut down but the latest gen will adjust stock. +1" you will need to cut the rear seams.

Yea then your axle is a good 1" back. Assume you run wedges and moved the swaybar back too?

I run the 3.5 x factor on a JKUR with 3" of bumpstop. I took a BFH and folded over the corner of the rear pinch seam at the bottom. No rubbing front or rear with the control arms set to the length RK specifies. Still running stock fenders and the only place it rubs is under the very top of the rear fender which makes a little noise when flexed but hasn't damaged anything with quite a bit of trail time on it. This weekends project is to cut the fenders.

Loosen the jam nuts and roll the bar forward? Or is there something else to do. Adjustable RK track bars also.
Honestly that's way too much bumpstop. Just cut man no worries. I run 2" both front and rear with 37s on 3" of lift. Use all your shock travel. My axle is relocated back about 1/2"
