Hey hey hey no name calling! No I understand that it is the problem but people are using the current bracket with a straight track bar or stock track bar and claiming that they can get the same amount of clearance which leads to more flex.

Who even makes a straight track bar for jks? im currently running the stock bar on there new bracket and my flex is exactly the same, but my axle is off center by about 2" with the stock bar.

I think his was homemade. So are you running 3inch bumps? Then it would be the same put a smaller bump stop and see of it clears the factory exhaust.

Im the one making a homemade one...What happened to your brain? Bumps play a minimal part in this. Factory exhaust might hit, but i dont have one to even test. Your arguing it limits flex and it clearly does not. This ongoing argument is pointless. Your looking to far into the many variables of everyones different builds.

This is true but in my application it increases flex. Y'all are the ones who told me it did not.

Its not your exhaust is limiting your flex then. I will blame the weaker part. Still as said theres always variables and many ways to approach each.
