I was also looking at the axle bushings and I have the Artec truss too. I'm wondering if you can just order 2x axle bushings and not the bracket. New fender style and shocks too:

Looks Like the Currie kit? The passenger side tower would be cut frosh with the truss. You would not need the brace.

I didn't even thin about the extra work on changing the flange. If you get it wrong.

Any two door JKs with the game changer 3.5 running oem rear shaft? I'm wondering how well it handles the droop... It's in line to be replaced, just wondering if it will be the limiting factor in my droop or if my fox shocks will fully extend first. Rear springs aren't in yet.

If they have a sale, I would guess it starts Friday. I get the emails from Matson, but they will have it on their site.
