I've got the Ready Lift 2.5F and 1R kit on the ole Hoe and after putting some BMFs and 35s I was doing some trimming and noticed that my passenger side tie rod is rubbing on what I believe is the front sway bar. I just had the whole front end reworked back in Feb. So other than a 6 inch lift or something thats going to be outrageous, what are my options here? Any and all help is appreciated. I don't have a picture now but if necessary, I can get some.

Did you use the stock adjuster bolts, or the or the ones that came with the Ready Lift kit? Sounds like you're well over the advertised 2.50" if it really is contacting there. Like Donnie said, post a picture, might be able to fix with something simple like extended end links.

That's why I ask about the adjuster bolts. The ones included in the kit are shorter, so you can't over crank.

I don't have a close up picture of the problem right now. I'm not sure about the bolts and which ones were used. I had a very reputable shop in town install it so I'm sure they're there. 5100's are being put on now so we'll see if that fixed my problem. If not, I'm thinking of looking into longer sway bar links or a pitman and idler arm drop kit. If I can find what I'm looking for. Thanks for all the responses guys!!
