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..

Looking forward to the final report.

just an FYI, the artec trackbar mounts also work just fine with MC's lift. just choose the bracket on their site listed as stock height. i have the full arctec front axle armor kit and the rear trusset with trackbar mount.

Do we know if these will work with MC and a Artec Truss? Want to install the truss before my 35s.

You can't be that sensitive or you wouldn't have purchased a Wrangler in the first place.

I drive my GF crazy cause I'm always trying to get her find the rattles in the jeep. They drive me nuts too and the jeep has developed a lot - especially with the hardtop on.

Get used to it!

I felt that I may as well get both braces just to be safe, I'm not sure if there is a benefit to be had. Steering did tighten up a bit which is nice.

I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference what lift you are running, you could even use a stock track bar with this brace.

My friend has his 30 trussed with Artec parts and installed the brace with no issues, he also has a metal cloak game changer lift.

I've had enough Jeeps to know that they squeak. I just don't want to introduce any.
