Carli Track bar?
Well i installed the Carli track bar today and used the 2.5 inch spacer and bottomed out the Heim on the axle side but the axle still needs to move over another 3/4-1 inch to the drivers side , what can i do to fix the issue? I have the King Coilovers set to 2.5 inches.

This is a known issue with the Carli bar, I believe they are making a new one, but really....nothing you can do with the one you have. Unless you are feeling randy and want to start hacking **** up.

Well this sucks,if its a known issue why has it not been addressed. I guess i chuck it up and mill off about an inch but i doubt its threaded that far in. I guess ill just ****can it and try a PMF, tha'ts kinda sad $450 wasted on a high end part from a known maker and they cant fix the problem.

Not to bash, but these are the same people who have can't tell you what their 2.5 leveling coil will do on a gas truck. You'd think with as much R&D they do they'd at least have a guess. But they won't even give you that. I've heard nothing but good things about Carli, and I sure they make mostly fine products, but they really need to work on their customer relations...

I have the same bar with their pintop level and I actually need to take mine off and lengthen it as is currently sits about a quarter inch more out the drivers side. I’m curious wanna measure the bar, not to the heim just the bar end to end and let see if it’s a truck thing or bar difference? Mine is 36 3/4

I bought it from SDHQ based on the fact i could get it from Amazon in 3 days, so i might just return it and get a PMF on Monday.

I called them and told them id just mill of about an inch and they said that's the best thing i could do, then called back after doing so then they told me the wrong size i needed to retap the end as the threads where not deep enough. I thinks its a solid part but ill never do business with them again since they cant fix a simple issue,IMO it is total BS to hack up a $450 part to make it fit.
