Default Sway Bar Rub

I was just cleaning my Jeep after a weekend of fun in Hollister Hills. Look on Trails and Tails for the 2nd of May. I noticed that my stock Rubicon had rub marks from the tires. Iam going to install a new TeraFlex LCG 4" LA kit that I just purchaced from http://www.alphaexpedition.com/ (at a hell of a deal may I add.). Sense Iam stock should I be having these issues? Will my problem be solved with the new lift and proper back spacing on some new wheels? Have I just taken my stock Rubi to its limits? Iam looking for some serious answers to this. should I replace my sway bar to Anti-rock? Wait for the new TeraFlex sway bar coming out soon?

It was a great run wasnt it!!! Most of the rub was probably do to the trails and the extreme deflection that those off camber trails can cause. It is not really a huge problem if all you were rubbing is your sway bar. If it doesnt do it during normal driving you will be fine. As for the lift kit it should eliminate any problems you have, just make sure that whatever tire/wheel package you choose you follow the manufacturers recomended backspacing.

I would double check that price David charged you, I saw some new bling on his rig, might be at your expense!!!! Just kidding!!!!
