stayed on the phone with ridetech today trying to figure out the problem. i sent them several pics and no one in the tech department had a solution. they advised me to purchase their sway bar and it would fix the issue. the tech sent me a set of pics of their sway bar and it looked identical to way my original bar looked. their bar is 1.35 inches in diameter. he also emailed me a link to their front sway bar kit and i noticed a set of flat brackets. i asked him on the phone what the brackets were for and he told me it moved the sway bar forward about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. so it moves the bar away from the tie rods and that in turn gives more clearance between the two. i believe ridetech knows this is an issue, why would they include the brackets to move the sway bar forward? their sway bar kit was around $425.00 shipped. so today i spent a couple hours and made a pair of brackets out of flat stock to move the sway bar 1 inch forward which fixed my issue, ridetech would not sell me a set. the only way to get a set from them is in their $400.00 kit. maybe this will help someone else if the have the same issue.
