I'm curious if anyone here has the same issue.
rig - 1996 sport
RE 3.5 lift
Here is the problem. The rear turned out to be much higher than the front. So I installed a 1.75 inch spacer in the front. While i was at it, i installed the RE drop brackets. Upper control arms are stock, lowers are fixed RE units. The truck rides and drivers great now. However, the JKS sway bar links are nearly touching the springs now (1/8th of an inch). I imagine this would be due to the more forward postion the RE drop brackets provide. Needless to say, i don't like the idea of the sway bar potentially contacting the spring and causing some weird handling.
So has anyone run into this? I was considering moving the sway bar mounts forward. I do not want to remove the sway bar, as this is a backup car for my kids. So if anyone has run into this, I'd like to hear how you fixed it.
thanks.
