No but I can probably find that info. Should be the 126 for 1-3.5" lifts. I'm pretty sure the JJ is the same for both which means neither would clear my diff.

I noticed you have Savvy's TT. How far up did you need to adjust the front pinion to keep the pinion angles happy? I'm drawing long shots here, but I want to figure this out.
So, let me see if I have this right, 2.5" suspension lift, Savvy TT, non adjustable control arms, and you have no drive line vibes?
Not exactly. In the rear, I have adjustable upper CAs, a DC driveshaft, and a properly set pinion angle. I get some vibes as many others do but they are minimal at <= 75 MPH. Above that vibes start to get annoying. Pretty typical from what I've seen on the forums.
Took me a while but I got a measurement from the front edge of the TB mount at the frame to the center of the front mounting lug for the steering box, 11.5".
I wonder if the TB mount is maybe installed in a slightly different position than others or something else is amiss. Before this thread popped up, I assumed it was typical to have the tight clearance that I have but apparently, it's not typical. But may not be that unusual either.
I guess the simplest cure might be to get a full set of adjustable front CAs (already have the uppers, uninstalled) and move the axle back just slightly, like maybe 1/4". I would like to run a stronger diff cover but I tried a couple and had interference there as well.

G.hayduke, I have the exact same clearance issue running a nearly identical setup as you (OME HD springs, RS5000X shocks, JKS MML, JKS 1.25" BL, MC Front TB, OE UCA's and LCA's).
Running anything less than 2" on my Rubi TJ caused the MC TB to contact the front diff cover. Even with 2" of bump stop, clearance is tight. As others have suggested, converting to adjustable control arms will allow you to move the axle back slightly.
The MC track Bar was optimized for a higher clearance lift. I speculate the bend would be better centered over the diff cover if the lift was slightly higher or I adjusted my axle outward.
I haven't had any interference after running 2" of bump stop.
Check out my post with pics. Might look familiar
