Metal cloak confirmed with me a few weeks back that their track bar works with that brace so that was enough for me to pull the trigger..
Can you let us know if your coil hits the track bar brace when stuffed

...and if the track bar hits the sector shaft nut when passenger side stuffed along with how much bump you're running. It would also be nice to know the length of your lower control arms, bolt center to bolt center, as that would have an effect on coil positioning.

Installed my 2.5 MC ARB on my 15 Rubi yesterday with some 315 70 17 Duratracs.

-Install was pretty easy, instructions were clear and pictures were helpful.
-Ride is a little rougher than stock, I was hoping for it to be a touch softer but thats ok given the higher center of gravity.


I will see how it wheels and update after that.

How tire pressure you running? Probably wanna be around 28 but chalk test it.


I don't think any lift on the market rides softer than stock.

How much lift did you get??? Rougher or stiffer?? I haven't heard it rides rough, but it has to be stiffer.

Agree on air pressure. That setup rides soft.
