Got to flex out the suspension yesterday. Coil does kiss the brace at full stuff, but I'm not concerned about it. My friend has a 2 door with 3.5 mc coils and brace, and I also saw the same thing. It didn't limit travel or anything.
Sort of what I expected but hoped wouldn't happen. Did you notice if the track bar hit the pitman arm/sector shaft nut at full stuff? And it's hard to tell from the pic but are you running 4" of bump?

Track bar did not hit. 2" bump up front.

Okay good to know. The only thing left for me to wonder about is the length of your lower control arms, as that affects whether or not there will be contact.

Did it only touch the TB brace? Any interference with the sector shaft brace?

No interference with sector shaft brace on both JKs with mc track bars.

Where did you get the sticker for the hood? They don't seem to have that on their site. Custom?
