In my fine tuning and problem solving of issues from my recent coil over install, I've notice the upper bolt for my disconnecting links are making contact with the front of the upper coil bucket. My thought is it could perhaps be they’re too long at 9.75” center to center (shortest possible). EVO instructions are to reuse the factory rears (9.5" center to center) with the draglink flip. I have the same contact on each side so don't believe it is a centering issue. With my research I've come up with the following possible problems solutions:
1. Control arms being set to short? Plan to work through the do it yourself front end alignment write up this weekend so maybe it’d work itself out then.
2. Take the grinder to the bucket to make clearance... already did it to the relocation brackets at the axle so don't have a problem doing more.
3. Go back to the disconnects from my 2" lift since they can be shorter. Only possible concern I have with this is that even at their maximum length I could only barely begin to level the sway bar out.
4. Loosen the sway bar mounts and shift it forward.
Took pictures at each side and also tried to get a straight on view of the whole front end because I know they’re often requested. Sorry to have made another thread relating to my coil over install, but I did fully understand and accept that I'd have issues to sort out after. Just trying to get some help from those more knowledgeable and be sure that I am actually addressing the problem and not just masking it (i.e. the grinder or shorter disconnect?). I can take more specific photos and some measurements if they can help. I don't have my angle finder on hand but according to the iPhone level, its at approximately 16*. I should add that the ride really has been amazing and I'm honestly surprised. I was expecting more issues and nerves but I found myself doing 80 down the highway yesterday without even noticing. Haven't done that since I got the Jeep.
