JKS trackbar interference

[TurboTJ]

I just installed a JKS rear trackbar on my TJ with a 2 inch OME lift. With full up articulation of the axle the trackbar contacts the frame crossmember where there is the bend in the trackbar close to the pivot on the frame. There doesn”t seem to be anyway to deal with this other than by installing bump stop extentions larger than the standard 20 mm OME parts. Is this what other people have done?

First, make sure the shocks don't need more bump stop than the "standard" OME 20mm spacer. Mine did with OME's own shocks.

How large a spacer did you have to use?

When I was running OME N66 rear shocks and otherwise stock suspension, I had 1" bump stop extension to keep the shocks from over compressing.
