Default This isn't good...

So just triple checking everything under my rig after doing my lift and noticed this...



And it's def the bottom of that bolt hitting it when I'm making right turns, which is also why I might feel some weird things in my right wheel every once in a while?

Proof:





Did I install something wrong when I relocated my front stock stabilizer? I have a RC Dual Stabilizer Kit, should I just go ahead and put that on now, or is its relocation bracket going to cause the same thing?

As always, thanks for all the advice guys, and someone save me before I have to buy something else!

You put the bolt in backwards. On my buddies kit the instructions said to install the bolt facing upwards.

Well Don't I feel like an **$@#. Will flip that and bet it will stop the problem. =D

Doubt it was the problem of feeling something up front in the right wheel rarely... But who knows?

Can you mount your shock above the bracket hold, instead of below? If you can then do that. That will solve your bolt problem and get your shock further out of the way from ground obstacles.

And this is the exact reason why I don't delete stupid posts I make. I even talked to a friend about this tonight and said I hope someone else see's this and it helps them out.

Now I just need to get out there and fix it!

try putting the stabilizer on the top of the relo bracket and swining the other bracket to the top to locate the ss up higher maybe?
