New unlimited rubi and Very new here but I'm planning on the 2.5 MC game changer and pairing it with the king 2.5s with resis. The kings have one inch less shock travel then the Arb version but I'm assuming it will still flex well. I noted to run a remote resi for the rear to get it out of the way.
can't wait to get this on.

We just installed one last night on my buddies 2016 jkur and he got 4.5" of lift but has not added bumpers yet. We went with MC's control arm measurements and just using my angle finder it looks like caster is mid to high 3's. also how are people getting away with out a high steer kit? Nice stuff but wish they added some flats on the control arms to help with tightening the jam nuts.

If I recall correctly, MC's suggested CA lengths in their instructions are for 2.5-3.5" of lift. So it sounds like you need to adjust them to fix the caster. You really want to be closer to 5 degrees. I would also highly suggest going to high steer. I think most people just live with the flighty steering and bad bump steer. I never really found the need for flats on the control arms... set the length and tighten down the jam nut while they are off the vehicle. Once installed, finish tightening them down. You'll get some flex out of the joints but you should still be able to tighten them just fine.

How does one access the nut on the rear passenger upper control arm? The bolt head is clearly and easily accessible, but the nut is covered up by the frame and the gas tank skid. Is the t-bar that hangs down below the frame welded on to the nut?
