On my LJR there must be enough real estate in the back end, that I didn't have any problem with the JKS bar. You certainly had a different experience!

We didn't have that issue when installing @tomtaylz Savvy TT with a JKS on his former LJR either.
Yes sir, she‘s a slimmed down version of my good ole’ girl. Besides the functional gains, I now got rid of the ugliest part of the Jeep, the shovel.Glad I could help you out. Hopefully it'll work and fix the problem with the trackbar. I know it helped with mine.
that TT really makes your belly almost flat. Your Jeep is looking goodand ready for Moab.
Looking good brah! Moving that upper perch should bring it back down, and make it ride nicer.
Looks amazing now. Love the flat belly and stance. Moving the upper perch back up into the arch should correct the additional spring lift and level it out.
Here’s my new problem. As you can see from the 2 JKS adjustable Trackbar ends below, the bend is better in the one that still has more zinc coating, But there’s no groove for the snap ring so I can’t move the Johnny joint over into it. Anyone have a suggestion for what kind of bushing I should put in there?
Ok, what are my other options?
1) Currie trackbar (might work)
2) Rokmen gas tank skid gives 1” more clearance behind the diff.
3) cutting the frame mount and relocating 1” forward (almost interferes with springs)
4) cutting the axle side OEM bracket off and welding on something built by @David Kishpaugh. Any insight here Dave? After Savvy TT, adjustable JKS trackbar with Currie rear angled trackbar relocation bracket. Trackbar is rubbing the gas tank skid and crashing into the crossmember. Pinion is at 18*/DS is at 20* and no vibes.
Any other skids that give more clearance for the trackbar? Any other ideas? I’m about out.

Here is the bushing from JKS I think that will fit that end.
They make this also.

There is a way to get more clearance back there, 5” in fact, it’s further down the hole.
Get a tummy tuck they say! Get adjustable arms they say!
It really is such a gamble. I’m pretty fortunate everything worked out on mine
That’s what I’m thinking. Which one do you think? I need the clearance higher up on the front of the gas tank skid. Rokmen is only $249.
