Are the wheels rubbing, or is the body rubbing on the stabilizer bar? Maybe take the bar off, file down the part of the knuckles that work the stabilizer and shave some of the inside of the body off around the stabilizer area and wheel openings if needed. Also, maybe a stronger spring and stronger magnet...

I have had mixed results without a stabilizer bar... it's been awhile. If I remember right, it steers wider without it. If your lowering job is preventing it from moving, I think you'll be better off without it. It sounds like it might be one of your only options in this case.

i found that steering w/o the bar SUCKS......... well for my lowered bit at least...

i think im just gonna leave it as is (it's pretty low...) and jus add a lip or something..
