So just got this mounted and am having some interference issues with the tie rod at the track bar mounted end. Body of the stabilizer hits the tie rod at full lock right turns with the suspension stuffed. May have to look into a relocation bracket. Anyone else notice this? I really don't want to adjust my steering stops and lose turning radius if I don't have to.

What stabilizer mount are you using at the axle end?

I'm using the stud mount that came with the ATS.
I'm looking at doing this same setup (Fox ATS for JK on a JL with stock steering/suspension components). Were you able to resolve the interference issues? I appreciate your feedback. Also, did you get any photos of the interference you were experiencing?

Several people have said they don't have interference issues. That wasn't the case for me. I'm using the Metalcloak bracket now. I had to drill the hole out larger and get a thicker spacer from fox to make it all work.

Thanks. That seems to happen often with accessories. Works for one person but not another...even on stock setups. I think I will probably go with the Teraflex Falcon 2.2 stabilizer since it's a little smaller and will likely not have the clearance issues. Also managed to find a deal to get it for $290 shipped to me. So that's another big incentive!

I appreciate the feedback.

What relocation bracket is this on the TB side? I am having clearance issues with my Fox 2.0 TS hitting the tie rod bar at full lock to the right.

Thank you, I’m a fan of MetalCloak and running their 3.5 lift. You mentioned you had to modify the bracket?
I did? Lol that was so long ago and ive been through so many renditions of the jeep i honestly dont remember
