Default Riddlers and FT Track Bar

Has anyone experienced any issues, such as rubbing, with Riddler diff covers and FT track bars front and rear?

I have the rear FT track bar and Riddler and it's fine. I believe there is an issue with the front though. I'm using a JKS track bar up front and it's fine with my Riddler.

I used to have a FT TB up front with my Riddler. It rubbed. I went to JKS - plenty of room. The rear FT bar has no problems.

Good to know! I just installed the Riddlers last weekend and will be upgrading my trackbars in the spring. Thanks!

Well that stinks! So are there any diff covers that will work with the FT track bar up front?

The stocks works fine. I have "heard" the teraflex work fine as well - verify before $$$.

I've got an ARBs with Full Traction control arms and track bars. The front control arms are set slightly shorter than stock up top and longer than stock on the lowers (so the axle isn't shifted that far forward).
It absolutely doesn't look like it'd clear in the front but surprisingly it hasn't hit yet despite some pretty good flex disconnected.
The fact that I am able to run 7.1 degrees of caster up front with my JE Reel 1310 driveshaft/yokes is possibly helping.

In the rear, even with the axle pushed and tilted back clearance isn't a problem with the ARB diff cover or the OME springs.
