How difficult is this to install in a 2012 Unlimited Rubicon? I ordered my kit on 5/15 and they have yet to ship it so I am somewhat pressed for time to get things right before going on a trip and haven't heard of anybody installing this on a 2012.

What would make the install different being a 2012?

As I've been installing components they seem to be slightly different than the 2011 model. Mount points and of course the drive train is different being the pentastar.

Mine's a 2012, no difference. Set aside a day for install but it's pretty easy. Hardest part for me was the front driveshaft.

Anyone running the Metalcloak chromoly tie rod or drag link? I'm looking to upgrade and have been beyond impressed with the Game Changer suspension. I'm thinking of going MC for the above mentioned.

I'm running 3.5 game changer w/6pak shocks. Impressed as well. Ride quality is more than I was hoping for. Ordered tie rod and drag link a couple of weeks ago. Should be in any day now.

Just ordered the 3.5 inch "gold standard" kit. Can't wait till it gets here to get it installed.

Damn some people on here just want to argue about what they "think" they know...I guess the only thing left is to unzip and get out the tape measures but I guess then they would want to argue about where to measure from geez give it a rest...seriously I like MC stuff but I posted on here a few years back that I loved their fenders and got E-Mails from the mod saying that this was Verboten (forbidden) because they were not a supporting vendor...
