TF 2.5 BB extended bumpstop rubbing
Hey all,
Tried searching using the search feature for this issue and nothing came up.
I have recently installed the TF 2.5 BB HD Spring kit.
I noticed tonight my front passenger side extended bumpstop is rubbing against the coil. Is this normal because the Axel has shifted to the left (towards the driver side)? Though the driver side doesn't appear to be rubbing but its CLOSE.
Check out the pics...
Passenger Side rubbing:
Passenger Side Rubbing 2:
For comparison here is the driver side close but not rubbing:
Is this a common issue?
What would I need to do to center that bumpstop, my fear is it eventually snags it and pulls it out or prematurally wears it out.
Thanks in advance

Think I *might* have answered my own question.
I did find this from a post a couple nights ago:
"You will have front and rear axle centering issues. The axle will shift towards the left in the front and the right in the rear (if your looking at the back of the Jeep). An easy fix for this is a pair of adj t-bars from Full Traction. They can be purchased at Northridge4x4.com (thats where I bought mine). Ive looked at WOL's writeup and its dead on the money. Follow it and you should be fine."
My question is is this slight enough where I can get away with it for a bit? With Xmas and all I'd like to order the Adj Track bar first of the year if I could get away with it.

As mentioned, you will be just fine and won't have any problems. The only way you can prevent this from happening on any lift is if you have the bump stop extensions attached to the lower spring perch instead of attaching to and extended the factory stop. But again, you will be just fine.
