Well I figured that was it, I don't have a lift, but it was never mentioned anywhere and I can make it work how it is after a lil help from another guy on the forum. I do plan to purchase the RC 3.25 lift with the next 2 or 3 weeks and maybe those guys will help me to get a new stabilizer cause I have no doubt that the stabilizer would be great if it wasn't ruubbing!

I have had no problems with mine. Love it.

With not lift, you will have to play around with the adjustment of where to put it a bit and it will not rub. You will also have to ditch that RCX plate and point the bolts on your drag link turnbuckle up. Then it fits no problem.

I was even able to get mine to mount in the stock position by putting the tie rod bracket at an angle.

I have run a few different stabilizers and like RC the best.

And Hellbound13 is right that's what helped me figure out my problem and how to solve it. I had a good idea just needed some extra confidence to make sure I wasn't screwing up!

Same problem with the duel steering stab on a Tera 2.5" spacer budget boost. With a little twist upward on the axle mount and backwards on the end mounts it would work. I did nick it a couple times. With a Rock Krawler 3.5 everthing wonderful now. It really helps out when running the big shoes. It was the best $129 I spent on the JK.

I dont recall ever seeing it posted on their site about it now working with a stock JK.
