FT trackbar/Rokmen Diff cover hitting?
 
I just added a Rokmen diff cover up front. It sure looks like my FT TB is going to hit it with any amount of flex. Anyone have experience with this? Is there a TB with a more radical bend to handle after market covers?


OME 2.5" lift, no CAs

Not a great picture, but I think you can see what I mean.

Another angle:

It appears to me more than a couple inches of flex and the TB/diff cover are going to hit.

I would prefer a "wider bend" track bar if there is one. Otherwise, I guess adjustable CAs could pull the axle in an inch or so.
Any suggestions?

That does look close... No clearance problems with my Currie Bar, for what it's worth!

Looks close jack up the driver side tire and check it out.

I jacked it up as high as my jack goes with no contact. The driver front coil did not compress much though. It appears to me the TB/diff cover will contact before the bumpstops (FT 2") hit.

Might someone have a suggestion on a front TB that has a larger bend than the FT?

To be clear, I am not complaining about the FT TB. I know you cant make everything work with everything else.
