Default Solid Diff Cover and JK fitment

Hey everyone, I have a set of Solids diff covers for my girlfriends '09 JK Rubi to install. I am aware of the grinding that may need to be done to clearance the diff's E-locker switch. But my concern is it appears that the covers will not clear the track bars (unlifted JK) even lifted if the track bars are relocated to keep geometry they don't appear to clear. Can any one confirm this before I get into it? I may try a dry fitment, worse case I'd get the lube changed out, planning to anyway but just thought I'd save a step and get the new covers installed and fluid changed in one step. Thanks for any headsup!!

I have Solid Diff Covers front and rear on my 07 Rubi. I have a 4" lift with track bar brackets and have no issues with the covers hitting.

Thanks for the input. Again, as of now this Rubi is unlifted. Future plans are for a 2 1/2" TeraFlex coil lift. It just does not apear to clear at stock height.

i just installed mine a few weeks ago. you do not have to grind them anymore. the design has been changed to accommodate the rubi elocker. i used 75w-140 mobil1 synthetic. i reused factory bolts though. make sure you call your dealer give them your vin and theyll tell you exactly how much fluid for front and back. i have an '11 rubi they told me like 1.5 in the front 2.5 in the back. heres a great write up.
