Exactly!!! They do answer their phone, I called them yesterday and they were very helpful!

FWIW I spoke with Jeremy this afternoon and he said he will have the situation corrected one way or another by Tuesday.

Y'all have a good weekend.

Is there anything else we can do to prevent the contact?

Bucklisa,

What is your caster at? You don't set front pinion angle you would set the caster on the front axle and then if you had a driveshaft vibration you would adjust slightly for pinion angle within reason keeping in mind how your pinion angle corrections are going to affect you caster reading and on road ride. Chances are you are a little light on caster and that is causing the front track bar relocation bracket to rolled forward causing the contact.

Just now seeing this thread. This is my pic of the 3.5 max travel. All adjusted to what RK recommended. Rides awesome and kit is stout. Just noticed today during an inspection this was happening. Was going to call tomorrow since its after hours. Not a huge deal and I might need to run washers too. Just wanted your thoughts.

The same question would arise as our response to Bucklisa... What is your caster set at? This can have a lot to do with contact between the draglink and track bar bolt.

Can't decide what to do. I want to replace my spacer lift with a coil lift. I have a Warn Elite bumper and M8000 winch which dropped the front about an 1". The spacers are 2.5" front and 1" rear which brought the JK to level. This is on a 2dr with softtop.

What I'd really like is about 1/2" drop/rake in the front -- so when I load a 200-300 lbs of camping gear in the back it stays level.

When I look at the RK springs on JKs with a heavy front bumper/winch, it appears like the upper part of the coil is almost totally compressed. Doesn't that negate the purpose of a dual rate coil? So, why not just go with a normal coil like Teraflex/OME? (Asking this for info, not to be critical of RK.)

We design our kits around a fulley equiped rig; bumpers, winch, tire carrier, spare, armor. We use a progressive rate coil in the front like you mentioned. It is completely normal for the softer top rate to sit almost compressed at normal ride height. In the rear we use a linier rate coil due to the fact that people do like to load the back of thier rigs up with gear often. You could use a slightly taller then stock spring spacer/isolator to give the vehicle the slight rake you are lookig for.

Anything to watch out for with this combination?

Nothing to watch out for, just make sure you have the proper back spacing on the wheel. We recommend 4.5" of backspace on a 9" wide wheel. With the smaller diameter wheel you may have some issues if you want to run some of the HD steerings availiable in the future.

You will want to give the breather line a little of slack on the axle end by making sure that there is no slack in the line at the frame end between the points where it mounts.
