    I have an adjustable track bar and still had to do the second gas tank skid plate mod because the drive shaft was still hitting the skid when flexed out off road

    Looking at the witness marks on my actual gas tank, after my drive shaft had pulled my shield down , it looked like it was barely rubbing. But still, I am not feeling that comfortable with it rubbing on the actual gas tank itself. So I want to give it an extra 1/4 to perhaps 1/2 inch clearance.

    07JeepXK when you installed your adjustable track bar did you make it longer than the stock one and if so by how much ? Otherwise some day I will have to measure and try that trigonometry stuff. LOl

    When mine was rubbing I did have both my front and rear sway bars disconnected.
