No, I was on 33's. I did an axle swap and regear.

Yeah you should be able to run 2-3" of bumpstops.

I have had it offroad a couple times since the lift. At Stoney Lonesome Saturday I rubbed a few times going up Widowmaker and in Rock Creek. I haven't had a chance to fully flex it on flat ground to check it out yet. MC lift instructions suggested 4" so I went with that just a precaution.

Picked up some 2.5" king shocks with comp adjusters, bumps stops and a stabilizer shocks.

Those running these shocks with th MC game changer did you have to run the MC front shock relocation brackets so the shock doesn't hit the frame on articulation ? If you did move it out did your tire then hit shock ? Also will the rear track bar bracket hit the rear shock? I've seen some track bar brackets hit some shocks.

I just picked up a set of sumo springs (bump stop bumpers) because two of my factory ones were shot. They are about an inch longer, do I need to remove one of the pucks on my bump stops to compensate?

I have the same shocks and lift. My shocks hit the frame at full flex with a PR44, so they would certainly hit with a Rubi44. I would think that the MC relo brackets should work on the Rubi44, but when I put them on the PR44, my ProGrip brakes hit them. I never had an issue with the tires hitting the shocks, nor did the trackbar bracket hit the rear shocks.

Thanks a lot! What pressure are you running the kings at? Are you running king bump stops too ?

Just looked at the rear track bar bracket and man that is very close even with my arb shocks !

Can you guys running kings take a pic of your bracket and shocks so I can see the clearance.

Thanks!
