Default Rock Krawler - Rear Springs hitting Track Bar

So a week ago I installed RK control arms all around. Now my Rear right spring is banging on my track bar. I ordered the trackbar and relocation bracket, bumpstops and rear correction wedges, but the track bar and bracket is on back order for at least 5-7 more days. Meaning i will not have this by Jeeptoberfest, it looks like. Does anyone know of a work around i can put in place so that i can have an enjoyable time at Jeeptoberfest...or am i just screwed... Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is correct but we had to twist the track bar so the bow pointed back. That gave us a few inches of clerance. That is if you have the RK track bar.

Oh sorry I see you ordered the track bar. I'd say you may be out of luck.

im guessing you adjusted your control arms out to push your axle back

Cut the coil perches off and relocate them back on top of the axle then weld them back on. You will be fixed and will not need the coil wedges.

That would be good for him if it was not on back order like he mentioned in his op. Relocating the coil perch to where they are suppose to be is the best way to go though.
