Is rear track bar bind a correctable?

[LarryG]

While going thru the suspension cycling, it was clear the only restriction on the rear was the track bar. 3.5" lift, 37's. Without buying, trying, and throwing money and ideas......is this just a fact of life, or is there a simple solution? Noob i.e. Continum....

Do you have a raised mount? Is it the stock bar? What brand lift?

Did you lengthen your rear upper control arms to correct your pinion angle? Is it binding on the raised track bar bracket?

Can you post some pics? Restricting in what way? Is it hitting something? I assumed thats what you meant with my first reply.

I am not sure what the pinion angle has to do with this, but it is aligned. It binds, disallowing full up flex on passenger side.

When I adjusted my pinion angle my springs catch on my track bar bracket, probably not what your talking about

How close to the bumps are you on that side?

There is no interference with any other components. The bind I reference is that while raising the passenger side from the shock bracket to observe full bump, and check clearances, the axle will begin to raise the tub with the bar connected. When the track bar is removed, the axle is free to be raised until contact with the bump stop.

Well the trackbars job is to keep the axle and body in phase with each other. What you're referring to isn't bind that's it doing what it's supposed to do. Have you gone out and driven over any obstacles and cycled the suspension that way?

No sir, not yet. My driveshafts are due to deliver tomorrow. Thank you for your response. It makes sense, I just am new at this and trying to get things right.

Gotcha, no worries. Throw your driveshafts on & go for a spin. I think you'll be fine.
