Default 2015 stock steering stabilizer relocation

Ordered a 2015 JKUR and one of the first mod (other then oil pan and crossmember/exhaust loop skids) is to get the steering stabilizer out of harms way. I can't seem to find a right answer for this. I know the earlier models had a different type of tie rod clamp compared to the new models (2012+ maybe?) and read that the newer clamp can't be rotated because it will contact the diff cover. Any word if this is true?

Also, I was looking at the Rancho high clearance kit but it states that it will contact the frame without 2" bump stops. It looks about the same height as the others on the drag link side. Does the other brackets also hit the frame at full flex?

I got rid of the stock tie rod clamp because of that possibility. The relocation bracket puts the stabilizer more parallel with the tie rod. I don't know what bump stops you have now. Make sure to center your steering wheel again after you re install the track bar.

I am completely stock for now, so stock bump stops. I seen setups with both stock tie rod clamps and was wounding if its possible to run the newer stock clamp without any issues.
