Default More ARB Diff Cover troubles

I was finally goin got change out my stock covers (front and back) with ARB covers that I've had in my posession for a few months.

Turns out they don't fit. I have a Rancho 3" lift which apparently only included springs and shocks. The track bar and control arms are still stock.

Anyway - the ARB covers touch the track bar so if I wheel it, I will likely damage one or the other.

are you sure that the factory track bar won't clear the cover? being that you didn't install new lower control arms, i would think that everything should still be in place and that it would clear. or, are you saying that you already installed them and they make contact?

I did a dry fit and the bar was actually touching the cover. I brought a friend (fellow jk owner) to get a 2nd opinion. He was surprised as well.
