My friend has them on his 2013 rubi and the track bar rubbed it up pretty good and can't take the fill plug off.

take the coils out and cycle the suspension with the new diff covers installed. if theres is a clearance issue you can bumpstop accordingly. then you can get max up travel without rub. this is if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of up travel for the diff covers of course.

Are the track bars the same on all wrangles since mines a rubicon any diff?
I'm pretty sure these things are really thick and it looks like the peoples covers which touched are with the embossed spider and u could just grind it down some if need be and paint would cover it. I just don't get how some would rub and some wouldnt sorry still learning at 31
But I do learn quick since vehicles are what live for except my wife if course lol
