Default RK 3.5 Max Travel

Was looking under the jeep this evening and had the wife turn the steering wheel back and forth. Found out that my track bar is hitting the drag like flip kit bolt.

Has anyone seen this before or found a remedy to the issue?

I had the same issue. My simple solution was to ad washers to the steering stops on the knuckles to prevent it from hitting at maximum steering turn and to prevent my Toyos from rubbing on the RK lower control arms which do not bend inward like others. They bend vertically down for Rock clearance however. I heard that my axle is to far forward, but my RK lowers are at their shortest length and I'm at a 4.5 lift. My RK uppers are adjusted for a perfect angle for my DC driveshaft. The RK draglink is the only one i know if that does not curve away from the track bar mount. It's beefy just now I wish I had gotten a Poly Performance draglink.

RK has a tech thread that was just started this week. It should be a few threads down, ask them I'm sure they can help.
