Any options out there? I have a Teraflex long arm kit on my JKU and the rear lower control arm mounts drag or get hung up on everything. With the JT being longer and the stock arms mounting in the same location I am curious if there are options to move them. Also wondering if you can outboard them with full width axles? Any ideas or build you've seen that have addressed this?

I don't have the answer you seek, but I did just put some skids on the rear LCA mounts (front) just for that reason, that they seem to drag on everything.

Sorry, I cannot help you on your question.... but, in the meantime....

It is a scrape point. When my Gladiator was Stock, I installed these Rusty's skids. Here is a link.... After I lifted my truck 3.5 inches and put on 37" tires, it is not so much a scrape point anymore where I 4wheel. Note: one hole was off on these skids, and I had to hog it out.

Skids are definitely an option and I'll likely skid them as a temporary solution. However, I'd much rather relocate them and drag frame rails and underbelly skids.
