Default Jks rear trackbar rubbing coils

I've seen this topic before but last night I installed my jks adjustable rear trackbar and noticed it was barely touching the right rear coil (the jam nut). I've seen some of the solutions, but would new rear uca's help me out?

You might want to try some RK correction wedges that will straighten your spring, only about 35 bucks

I ahd this problem on my 2010 JKU. I ahd a pro comp 4" and the spring hit that jam nut constantly. I used the RK wedges and a spring retainer kit and it fixed the problem. A bitch to put on, but it was fixed. I ahve slight contact again on my 12 with FT 3" lift. But this time it is becasue I ahve upper and lower CAs. The length of the lower to slide the axle back is fine, but the uppers can't get short enough to rotate the axle forward to straighten the springs. So, I can shorten the lower, or (and what i am going to do), I am going to cut the sheath portion of the upper CA by about 0.5 inch. Are you runnning lower CAs? or are your springs just bowing?
