uh is the trans mount bad? I don't think that has anything to do with the trackbar.

I would check your motor/trans mounts.

The flattened downpipe is supposed to compensate (correct) this problem, but usually once lifted it is no longer any trouble.

is your axle centered? if its WAY to the passenger side, then it would hit the exhaust. Mine does that, but it started life as a 2wd MJ, so i dont have the flattened downpipe. its even lifted 5.5''

You probably should check the motor mounts and the trans mount just 'cuz. If your front axle is pushed a little too far to the passenger side, you can certainly end up with interference.
