The FT front TB hit my riddler cover. The JKS front does not come close (I know you asked about ARB, but thought you might find this useful).

ARB revised their diff covers so the track bars won't hit. The machined surface that says ARB is not at a slight angle to avoid the problem. Original it was parallel to the front axle. Talked to the ARB sales rep at the Q-tec tent sale recently before I installed.

I'm running the OME lift with FT TBs and ARB diff covers. No issues at all. Just had it out to Rausch Creek a couple of weeks ago with the new diff covers.

Check out northridge4x4 (sponsor) the JKS is almost $70 cheaper for each one than the JKS.

Great service from David @ Northridge.

The Teraflex HD front TB also has no issues with the ARB cover. This TB is super beefy and Teraflex customer service is as good as it gets. Check it out. Ask David at Northridge4x4.

Good luck!
