Just installed a 2.5 inch dual rate kit with rocksport shocks on my 2015 unlimited. After test driving on a dirt road I was getting a lot of noise over bumps. I found that my sway bar contacts the frame on the driver side. The bar is much higher than before in relation to the frame. I also have contact with the links at the top when at full turn they hit the side ribs on the tire tread. I am running stock wheels and tires for now. The links are the solid ones included in the kit for rubicons. Wondering if anyone else has had either of these issues? The contact area on the frame is on a round piece that comes through the frame, thinking about grinding it down. Any suggesting appreciated.

Update just got back from shop and problem solved. It was not a lift issue but a skid plate one. I installed a smittybilt engine trans skid. I have had lots of trouble with clearance. The front axle had come up and past skid plate then got stuck so suspension was compressed. When I pried the skid over the front of the jeep popped up. Just a tip save your money and buy good skid plates not the cheap ones like I did, wish I had went with metalcloak skid package. I cut and re drilled both front mounts and now it is good.
