Hey. It's the 2.5 premium kit. I got the Fox 2.0 with remote reservoir. Kinda middle of the road shocks. I also got adjustable steering stabilizer. It's being installed today

Help!

Just got my truck back yesterday.

Any one have problems with the front track bar binding against other stearing arms?

Nothing of the sort. How did that even happen?

Can you take a pic... I cant even think of how that would happen.

I'm going back to 4 wheel parts tomorrow. But when I go over a speed bump I feel something bind up when I hit it, then when I go down the other side I feel it unbind again. Thought at first I was hitting the bump stops, still night be. There only send to be a couple inches between the to and bottom bump stops. But when I look in the adjustable steering bar from Clayton there are bright spots where the paint has been rubbed off. When I turn the wheels to the right full. I see the track bar push up against the next stearing bar down.

You sure its the track bar.. I believe its farther back. Turning side to side the drag link maybe though.

Great picture! Track bar contacts top drag link.

My guess is your installer did not adjust the arms properly and your geometry is off. Those should not be contacting each other.

I recommend taking upper and lower measures and pics and sending to @Clayton Off Road here who will be able to tell you if the installer messed up.

I just went out & took a pic of mine. The only way I can see that happening is if they did not adjust the track bar up & have it nearly straight out the side.

Edit: Nix that they cant have it adjusted wrong unless its flipped upside down. I didnt realize its solid at the top end.

Thanks guys. I'll compare your pic to my set up in the morning. I let you folks know how it comes out.

I just don't see how it's possible for the track to hit the draglink unless they did something seriously wrong. Like flipped the arm lengths or used the rear track bar up front.

Upside down is a definite possibility. Would it hit the differential?
