    No sway bar = no rubbing...

    Did you install the sway bar relocation brackets that came with the kit?

    My bolt rubbed from the joint, not the bar. I chopped the bolt but that looks like a sway bar relocate needed

    Not much else I can do on that front. It’s already installed. I’m gonna see if I can pry the swaybar over slightly to get enough clearance.

    That is odd. Maybe you should yank it. I have to say after trail riding some pretty water warn stuff this weekend I could’ve used the full independent front. So paranoid with my child in the truck though.

    I was able to pry the swaybar over a little bit and appear to have clearance on both sides. I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it still rubs. If it does I’ll yank it off or clearance the sway bar a little.

    Hmm, I'm having the same issue but only on the driver side. It looks like I have the same setup as you do. I guess I'll have to try prying mine over too.

    Remember the sway bars have those locating rings on them on the inside of the bushings. Might have to adjust those too to get it to sit where you need it too.

    As a side note. I installed my sway relocate as I put the sway bar back on for a long cross country trip. Just want to be safe.
    My sway bar is rubbing against the reinforcement ribs on the Mobtown skids. So, fastest fix is to washer/space the front of the skid to clear. Or pull it completely and notch the rib. Which pulling that skid can be a real PITA sometimes.

    That is a bit. If I remember, when you set preload un weighted the max your supposed to go is spring preload compressed length of 11 3/4". Any more and you cause coil bind.

    Lol, yeah I dialed it back quite a bit from there. I’m running about 3/4” preload in passenger and 1 1/4” driver which puts me at about 22.5” hub to fender.

    Installed my rears with clickers yesterday and my passenger side nob doesn’t move much for adjustment, only turns once, anyone familiar with this? My driver side nob adjusts perfectly but for some reason the other side is super hard to move.
