Default Track Bar Hitting Steering

Has anyone else had issues with the front track bar hitting the nut on the top part of the pitman arm? I have a rugged ridge adjustable track bar and it hits juts barely. I went to put on my synergy front track bar bracket and it will be even closer so i held off. Im wondering if there is a better track bar that has less of a bend to it where it may clear. its hard to tell on the pictures online of other track bars... I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Maertz

I think the Synergy track bar/steering brace is designed around the Synergy track bar.

I had the same issue awhile ago running a RC track bar with the same angle as yours. Upgraded to a Clayton trackbar with much better angles.
