Fox TS Steering Stabilizer on Stock steering

[COHiker]

Trying to figure out how to install the JK version of the Fox Ts on an 19 JLUR with a 2.5 inch lift. Using the post that comes with the fox stabilizer, I am getting rubbing on between the shock body and the tie rod at full passenger lock. Any one find a successful bracket to lift the stabilizer to improve clearance or have suggestions on how to install with stick tie rods and drag link? I will upgrade those when they wear out a bit more, but probably have a couple of seasons left.

What mounting bolt are you utilizing at track bar bolt? I used Synergy. Couple pics for reference.

I am using the synergy bolt as well through the trackbar. Everything clears until full lock passenger. It actually pushes the tie rod down a bit. I wonder if the 2.0 TS has a slightly larger body than the ATS? Seems like it would be the other way around.

I wouldn’t think so either. Maybe grab a couple pics so we can see the angles.

Try rotating the tie rod bracket to the rear some.

I think you can order in 3 different sizes. At least you could back when I was debating between this and the ATS model.

The one I have , you have to order the JK version because it comes with its own clamp, and JKs had a 1-1/2” tie rod, which is what my synergy is.

As Roky mentioned, rotating it slightly back will help clear the tie rod.

I will try rotating it more this evening and take some pictures.

What bracket are you using on the trackbar?

The SteerSmarts Yeti double sheer bracket. A bit of overkill, but I like that it orients the stabilizer bushing so it can rotate radially as the tie rod moves fore and aft, rather than the hard way with every turn.

Thanks, I have the clayton version on order and it looks very similar, that might help.

I still think as recommended above by Roky and Mike rotating back (like Mike’s pic) you should be good to go.

For sure going to try it, the clayton is a back up if the rotation doesn't get me there

Hey man, happens a lot, just turn full lock passenger then loosen the tie rod clamp and rotate it until it barely clears tie rod , tighten it up, should be good to go.

Oh, I was just trying to show different views of the stabilizer when the tie rod clamp is rotated back. The track bar end mount doesn't raise the stabilizer any higher than hoag4147 and Roky's Synergy mounting stud.
