Rear JKS Trackbar rubbing on Tereflex Coil
I installed my TF 2.5" coil lift two weeks ago and just re-torqued all the bolts. In the process I noticed that my new adj. JKS rear trackbar is barely rubbing the right rear TF coil spring. Specifically it is the nut on the trackbar that is rubbing the coil.
Sorry for the large pictures, how do y'all do the little thumbnails that link to the large pictures
Picture 1 where the nut is rubbing the coil.
Looking straight up, I have about 1/4" clearance between the trackbar and the coil. I tried to highlight the edge of the coil, but my photoshop skills are non-existent.
Do yall think this will be a problem long term, and what should I do about it?

Get the Rockrawler spring wedges, you put them between the coil and lower mount and it'll straighten your spring.http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/cat...p?r_itemID=247

In general, any type of suspension interference issue is going to be a problem in the short or long term. What may appear to be barely rubbing in a static position can be a major inteference problem when the suspension flexes.
I think you've gotten a couple of good solutions to your problem.
