They are really nice, but if you are running your Jeep stock you will have a problem with the front stock track bar. There is a thread on it here.

I think the issue was with the front D44 only, you're safe if you have the D30 (which I have). I haven't noticed any rubbing from my factory track bar but I haven't had it out on the trail since I've installed them.

Somewhat noteworthy if you expect them to match, the D30 is the older style with the small spyder in the middle and the D44 is the newer style like in the pics 4x4chick posted. Hopefully the fashion police don't pull me over out on the trail...

I have 44's front and rear no problems on my 2 door '12 rubi. I really like these covers. They are thick and nice smooth contour to them to slide off rocks. My jeep sits parked at home while I'm at work and when I come home I abuse it but my diffs are no longer a worry because of these covers.

I've hits rocks with both front and rear.. I've slid the rear diff over a rock and didn't peel the cover.. Very happy with them..

This is how bad the rubbing is on a D44 front cover after one wheeling day on a class 2+ trail. Stock 2012 2 door Rubicon.

Get them, you won't be disappointed. They're also very decently priced. No rubbing issues on front D30 and 2.5" lift.

You will be fine with any lift with after-marked track bar. It is the stock track bar and D44 diff that is the problem.
