Had this problem when I was running the JKS rear trackbar. Now running the TERAFLEX trackbar setup and no rubbing issues!

Keep in m imind the rubbing issue we experienced was using the JKS trackbar in the stock mounting locations. Those who run a relocation bracket on the axle side shouldnt have any issues. We were running a 6" lift that had tons of flex..... thats why maybe not alot of folks are reporting issues.

Have Rancho diff covers front and rear. Had some minor rubbing with my stock Rubicon suspension. Hoping my FT 3" LA kit will solve this issue.
