Ok, so I am running the Overland flares and 35's and planning on installing their middle of the road 2.5" lift (springs, OME shocks, front LCA's, front track bar and rear track bar mount) are you all saying that the factory stock track bar will be an issue? I thought the rear bracket was so you COULD use the stock track bar?? Learning a lot on this thread, but confused by a lot. Seems a lot of you don't run any MC but have a lot to say about it.
35's fit fine with their fenders btw, but up travel would be limited and so I will be adding the 2.5 and eventually buying the rest of the CA's.

I'm not saying you can't use the stock track bar and bracket without problems but I don't think it will center your axle completely and in my opinion it will limit up travel with your stock exhaust but if you have bump stops that's no issue. This is the opinion of the guy who has no brain and is ignorant so take it with a grain of salt. Lol

I was not trying to be insulting, you were trowing the LOL after my quotes like you think I am full of shit. People can take my advise or leave it, I really don't care. I am not here to bash on Metal Cloak either, I was just adding some reason to the conversation. By your logic of a track bar increasing articulation then I should have an infinite amount of flex since I don't even run a rear track bar.

I was going to make a comment in this thread, but, by the time I got through the 7 pages of conversation today ..... I forgot what I was going to say!!! Ah, I remember ..... someone commented that the MC track bar bracket in the video was different from the cad image. I think the cad image has it flipped around to the opposite side.
