Both upper and lower control arms?

I say again, you can avoid all this if you properly bumpstop your axle.

Jack up one tire until it's as high as you want it to go (not rubbing), and measure the distance from the bump stop tube (top) to the coil bucket (on the axle). That distance is the length of bumpstop you need.

Where do you find different bumpstops in different sizes for sale? I always see regular size ones...

He already needs a new track bar. And he already has those twist in coil spacers.

Im still unaware of what is wrong with the track bar I have right now too.

Your track at looks stock, if it is you need an adjustable one to center your axle under your jeep, it looks like it is pulled to the drivers side.
