I have a New Stock 2012 JKU Rubicon with 3200 miles not lifted yet. First mod was armor, Oil pan skid and Diff covers. I took the Jeep out in the desert today just to play for a bit and when I got back I crawled under the Jeep to check things over and I noticed the new just installed Riddler front diff cover is getting hit by the track bar.

Contact spot is circled in red. Any one else having this? There is a scuff on the back side of the track bar.

 

I can't comment on that brand specifically but I was recently thinking about getting a PSC diff cover for the front while I'm doing work on my front end anyway. Well the website specifically said they don't recommend putting a front diff cover on due to interference.

 

Nuts! Ive been reading this web site for months and I never saw a thread warning about this. I just did a internet search and sure enough its a common problem. Crap now what

 

Great timing, I was just getting ready to order a set of these...are the rear ones o.k.?

Looks like a stock trackbar. You may want to look at getting an aftermarket for more clearance. I had the same issue.

 

Ya I was glad I caught it first too before I ordered a set. But yes, the rear ones are okay.

 

My rear cover looks ok. Just the front is getting hit.

 

I have a Riddler to instal on my 2012 Rubicon after I get a 3" lift.

Will the track bar still hit the cover?

 

After market track bars??? Every time I add something to the Jeep I have to add something else to compensate for the it. I'm going to go broke doing mods to the Jeep! My wife and I love the Jeep its a lot of fun but Skid plates, diff covers, lift kit with shocks, coils, brake line extensions, sway bar links, track bars, control arms, bump stops, wheels, tires, front and rear bumpers, winch, rock rails with steps (wife is short), lights, seat covers, etc ,etc ,etc... When will it end?

 

I have a friend with a 2011 and he has a 2" lift and no issues with his Riddler covers. I ordered a Teraflex 2.5" lift that should be here this Thursday and Im hoping it solves my problem. If not I'll either get an aftermarket track bar or replace the front Riddler with a half skid on the stock cover.
