OK guys, I need to tap the collective knowledge/experience. I did a search in the forums and couldn't find anything about this problem, so here goes.
I just installed the factory front skid plate. I tested the steering for clearance and the drag link comes VERY close to the bottom lip of the skid plate. This occurs with the wheels turned to the right and the right front jacked up a bit. I can't get my jack to go high enough to simulate full articulation so I will have to find some object to flex it tomorrow. It looks like if I go higher the bolts on the camber adjustment will run into the skid plate. I know the axle goes back as it droops but it still looks too close.
Has anyone had any issues with the factory skid plate interfering with steering after a lift? My Jeep has a 3" Skyjacker lift with JKS disco's.
I have included 3 pictures to help.
Thanks!!
