Default Front track bar frame side bolt hitting artec truss.

I am having a problem with my axel side track bar bolt rear side with nut hitting my artec truss with a hard thud. It's making a grove in the truss. I was looking at flipping the bolt so the nut is facing the front of the jeep but it looks like it would still hit. The only option I see is grinding out the area where the nut is hitting but i don't want to co premise the integerty of the truss. Only other option I see is to install larger bump stops but don't want to limit my travel. I am currently running 2 inch with rock krawler 2.5 flex. I measured my control arms and they are the correct length. Any recommendations.

Cut some of the bolt off. Just leave some threads showing. Then notch the truss. Or, just notch the truss. You're not going to impact the integrity of it. They are way over built. Half my Jeep is notched! Haha

Until it doesn't hit anymore.
