Front trackbar hits riddler diff cover

I guess my real question is...if I weld on the ARTEC HD trackbar mount and raise the trackbar 11/2 inches will that fix this problem? Can I even do that with having a drop pitman arm? Or will I need a drag link flip kit? If I do weld that new mount will I need a shorter trackbar? My adjustable trackbar is in pretty far as it is.

Does your TB have a bend in it that can be rotated forward so it clears the diff cover? I had to do that with my RK bar. I have Poison Spyder covers, which are the same as your Riddlers.

No. It is straight until the l bend at the axle. I just ordered a artec hd trackbar mount to weld to the axle. It will raise the axle mount 1 1/2 inches. If that doesnt work ill order a rubicon expresd trackbar.

Just got back from my offroad shop and they recommended just clearancing the diff cover so the trackbar doesn't hit it. I have a spare riddler diff cover so I am not worried about it. Going to install the artec hd track bar mount first and see if it still hits. Artec emailed me back and said I won't have to do the drag link flip with this mount. It is preferred, but not required. I also have a drop pitman, so that would mean I would need to get a stock pitman arm since mine is in a scrap yard somewhere.
