Get the Teraflex rear bracket, it mounts frame side is only $30 and solves the problem......for some reason it handles better afterwards too

Don't know why, maybe it's just a mental thing....I spent money so it must be better kinda thing...

Do you have a aftermarket bracket on the rear somewhere? There is no reason this should be rubbing.

Adjustable control arms?

Mine rubbed too....I put the rear tracbar bracket on and now it's fine...

Like I said...it seems to handle better....kinda funny though, cause with the bracket I had to shorten the tracbar all the way in.

I'm waiting to receive the TF 2.5" lift kit (coils + shocks) with front and rear JKS adj. trackbar.
Any rubbing/clearance issue with Riddler D44 differential covers ?
