I'm running 16s, they do seem closer than stock and Spohn has some info on their sight about it and back spacing requirements. They also have some good customer service as far as Q&A, I had a couple of questions they responded the next day. I think they are really wanting to get deeper into this market, give them a call or email see what they say. I have a feeling it may be an issue.

I've used their F-body parts on old racecars. High quality parts!
I just ordered their rear track bar and track bar brace. I chose them because it's adjustable on the vehicle. Which is a huge selling point to me.
I'll update.

I've got their track bar bracket and it's beefy. It certainly does all it claims and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another spohn part.

I think I'm going to give it a shot. I recently replaced the steering drag link, both ends with MOOG parts. Just having the higher quality ends on that helped the feel of the steering. The ends on my tie rod seem loose to me, factory bushing are crap. I'll pull the trigger the end of this month.

I just got the Spohn tie rod and drag link for my jk. Putting it on next Saturday. I will post pics and review. Have pretty bad wandering with my AEV 2.5 lift with 3/4 inch. Puck.

I bought a used 2010 Jeep Wrangler a couple years ago. It has a Mountain Goat Suspension on it. My beefy Mt Goat Drag Link is getting hit by the nut on the tie rod. At this point, you can buy tie rod ends ($49/ea, TRE1T-875-18L), but the drag link ($249) is out of stock and no longer being manufactured. You can buy one from Synergy ($300) which will work fine (according to Spohn, who is the primary distributor of Mt Goat products). Also, the Steering Damper is no longer being manufactured. Bummer for me. I'm heading to an off-road mechanic shop on Tuesday to consider my options.
