No limit brackets
I bought the no limit shock relocation and panhard bar kit. The issue I am running up against is when I use the holes that the instructions state to use, the brackets try to occupy the same space. I am unsure if I should just clearance one of the brackets or if I should possibly move them to clear? Anybody else ran into this issue?

Re: No limit brackets
I remember reading about this before on the NL kits.
I would check w/NL first but it seems you would be fine just buzzing the edges of each bracket equally until they clear each other. I suggest the "each bracket equally" approach so the minimum amount of material is removed from each vs. twice as much material removed from just one bracket.

Hopefully it's still that simple.

Re: No limit brackets
Thanks again, I started to just clearance them and move on, which appears to be the likely solution needed here.

Re: No limit brackets
I heard back from Rob, and the fix is to clearance them so they both fit, I wanted to update this in case someone down the road ran into this scenario.

Re: No limit brackets
I finished my install and am happy with the kits and how they turned out. I still need to torque a few bolts, but it’s on there. I might have to slot the lower shock mount bracket on the passenger side to slide it back farther. It appears the shock might hit the panhard bar mounting bolt. Should be easy enough to slot the existing U bolt holes to gain more clearance.

Re: No limit brackets
Looks good. Weird on the shock interference concern. Maybe it's just close but really not an issue w/full weight on the chassis?

Re: No limit brackets
That’s my thoughts as well, get some weight on it and see what it looks like. I don’t think others have had this issue, but nothing that can’t be worked around if need be.
