Mudlover, The drivers' rear tire is hitting the top spring mount. Not because the springs aren't right but because the axle has moved over towards the passenger side. The track bar connects diagonally from the frame on the passenger side to the axle on the drivers side. Think of it like the hour hand on a clock, in stock set-up that bar comes down at an angle of about 4 o'clock, and by coming down at exactly that angle it holds the axle into a centered position vis-a-vis the frame and body and suspension. But when I put in taller springs, the track bar now has to hang down at a sharper angle to reach down to the axle, falling to an angle of, say, 4:20 rather than 4:00. Just like on a clock, as the hand reaches down further it drops down straighter, and this is moving the rear axle over. At least I think that's what's going on, and the tech guy Dave at BDS seems to think it too.

tcoff, the cam bolts are indeed for the front lower links. They're in fine now, though my kit did not come with new links or track bar relocation bracket --just springs and shocks, plus the recommended optional steering stabilizer and cam bolts. The cam bolts I guess will be used by the alignment tech when I finally get it all together and take it for an alignment.

It sounds like you needed a new rear track bar position when you put in a 2.5 inch lift, so I don't know why BDS never even mentioned the possibility of needing one with their 2" lift. What brand kit did you buy? Was the track bar relocation bracket included or recommended, did you buy it separately because you knew you'd need it?

And your not needing to change anything with the front track bar set up --was that just because all your clearances were okay or because you know the front axle really did not move over? I get contradictory advice on the need for a front track bar fix. BDS tech guy Dave told me that both axles would have moved over, not just the rear. After all, the front track bar also pivots down on a specific angle from the frame at top to align the axle at bottom.

Now, if my wheels had a shorter backspacing (BDS recommends 3.5" but my stock wheels are 4.5") the rear drivers tire would still have an inch clearance instead of just touching the spring mount-- and then I might never have noticed the axle moved. So I guess they sell the kit without it to keep the price down and the install simpler. But they don't mention that the vehicle is now off-center on the axles. And if I had that backspacing clearance and thus never noticed the axle moved, I'd be driving it now with the whole vehicle mounted off-center vis-a-vis the axles, and I don't want that. So I'm glad I noticed the asymetry so I can fix it for best balance and handling of the vehicle. And along that line of reasoning, even if I have no clearance problems in the front, I want to be sure the vehicle is centered on that axle as well. So I'm curious why you needed a rear axle relocation bracket but no fix to the front track bar set-up. Are your front and rear axles both centered on the vehicle now? If you drive in a straight line, do your rear wheels track the exact same path as the front wheels, or is your front axle a half-inch over from your rear axle? I always learned it is very important for the wheels to track exactly in a straight line.
