Looks like the passenger spring might be making contact with the track bar and your sway bar links are short but other than that it all looks right. Maybe your shocks are blown out? Might be that your just hitting bumps too fast?

For the height you say you are running it does not look like you have much up travel. Did you set the bumps up based on travel clearance or did you just throw them on because they are in the kit? You also have a drop bracket on the rear track bar which lowers your roll center making the jeep roll more. Raising the axle side bracket and putting the frame side back to the stock location will help with handling.

Also pull down the rubber boot on the shock, or cut them off and measure how much shaft you have showing at ride height. Also measure the distance between the foam bump stop and the bump pad extension you added and post those numbers. Measure the true height of you tires and post.

The rear bumpstops in the kit are not 2", but 2.5", don't ask me why, get 2" bumpstops and see if it helps. I ran the kit with 1" bumpstop with 33's, and now 2" with 35's.

Is the rear TB hitting the diff looks close. Either that or the right coil.

Care to elaborate as to why?



OP, lift the shock boots and see how much shaft is exposed. Theres a good chance you are bottoming out the shocks.

I was wondering the same thing, no model listed just fox? That suggestion will help about as much as spreading peanut butter on the hood.
