Default FT vs Rustys front track bar

I think my FT front TB will hit my Riddler Diff Cover at extreme flex (unconfirmed). It looks like Rustys front TB has a larger bend - more room for my cover. Does anyone know if this is true? Any reason to stay away from Rustys?

If you dont want to chance it with the FT bar take a look at the JKS bar.

David, might you care to make a guess on how much more room the JKS has over the FT?

Just throwing it out there, but there is one guy on youtube who had a rustys TB break on him going down the highway, flipping his TJ. Just something to consider.

To be honest I would just be blowing smoke. I have no idea But I do know we have plenty of Customers running them without any issues.

Might one of you offroad superheros give me a measurement of the depth of the bend for the JKS front TB- assume a straight line from from lowest point to lowest point (start/end of the bend) to the inside apex?
