Well.... Got my new RC 3" installed last night. Installed TJ 31 10.50's one side rubs and one doesn't. This kit recommends 31's also the front skid plate will need modification to re-install it. My GF and son are going to take it to wild bills performance for alignment today. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks!

One side rubs the bumbper when turning, and wheels offset is 5.25" i installed 1.5" wheel spacers.
Thanks,

Would seem as if the trac bar isn't set correctly.. They might be able to hook that up when it gets taken in for the alignment..

Well alignment didn't fix it. I am wondering about how good the shop is, as my GF had to take it back to them 2x. the steering wheel was off. i will check the track bar.

if the Steering wheel is off and you have to have the wheel turned to the right to go straight then the axle is off center to the drivers side and the track bar needs to be lengthened. Vis versa if you have to turn it to the left to go straight.

Agree, lifting moved the axle over because the track bar isn't long enough. Adjustable track bar would do ya good. Some have went a cheaper route by drilling a new mounting hole on the axle-side bracket, although i don't like this solution.

Thank you all for your help..... I will look into an after market track bar and maybe a 3/4" spacer.
