Question Synergy Front Track Bar and Sector Shaft Brace Kit???

Hey I am wondering if this kit will work with a MetalCloak 3.5" game changer. I'm hearing mixed things regarding this. I emailed MetalCloak and they said it'll work no issues. But some people say it'll rub coils or interfere. Any thoughts?

I had that sector shaft brace at one point, and it rubs on just about every coil except for Synergy's that I can recall. Will it "work", sure, but if you're flexing that front axle out you are likely to rub. I'm not a big fan of that brace myself. If you feel you need it then you likely just need to go hydro assist instead. Just my opinion.

So ATM I'm running 35s, with my 3.5" MetalCloak lift. I'm upgrading steering next with a MC tie-rod and drag link setup. I can't say I NEED the braces, but after hearing about issues of the shaft breaking and how awful it is to have it happen, I wanted to get ahead of the problem before it was a problem.

PSC is ideal for sure, but it costing over $2k and all......
