Default Teraflex Monster Front Trackbar with steering stabilizer bracket

So I have the teraflex track bar, and the woods steering stabilizer relocation bracket. These two just don't seem to want to play nice together. I can't seem to be able to rotate the stabilizer to a spot that it won't bind as it cycles without hitting the bolts on the track bar. I'm thinking of maybe pulling the bolts and cutting them down so there's not so much extra bolt, or maybe replacing them with something shorter. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions for fixes?

bump. I can't be the only person who decided that their steering stabilizer doesn't deserve the beatings it gets in the stock location and who likes teraflex!

and from right under it. you can see in this picture, because of how close the track bar is to the frame that I can't really pick what side the bolts go on, when I had it on the first time, the bolt was actually hitting the frame, I had to twist it. I also noticed a scratch on the steering stabilizer, I'm assuming from the bolt on the track bar

I had tried that before, you can see on the picture from the side, the big scratch on the frame. That's why I'm thinking of just shortening the bolts

Sneck,
I am running the monster tb, woods relocation bracket, and the stock stabilizer. I had to center the turnbuckle on the upper control arm bracket. I then pointed the turnbuckle opening towards 5 oclock if you are looking at it from the drivers side. I initially had it positioned like you do and put a nice gouge in my ss. I haven't taken it off road since I put the tb on though. So for daily driving, this works.
