Default SOLID Diff covers hitting rear trackbar

Title says it all... was wondering if anyone knew if the Riddler diff covers stick out as far asthe SOLID's for a Dana 44? When flexed the our JKS adjustable trackbar is making contact with the SOLID diff cover. I'm open to other brands of covers besides Riddler, however I dont want to go to a Diff Guard.

I have adjustable control arms but dont want to shorten the wheelbase just to clear our current cover.

I have the Full Traction track bars and mine hit my Solid covers too. The contact is not too bad and I don't see it really doing long term damage, but I would love to resolve it if possible. I would change to a different cover if I knew for sure that it would resolve the problem. The front is the main one that hits on mine.

I'm running a FT rear track bar and it's never made contact with my Riddler.

The Solid ones stick out probably 1/4 to 3/8 more than the Riddlers.

Same here for the rear - FT/Riddler. Had to go to JKS TB up front (FT hits).
