Installed my 2.5 MC ARB on my 15 Rubi yesterday with some 315 70 17 Duratracs. -Install was pretty easy, instructions were clear and pictures were helpful. -Ride is a little rougher than stock, I was hoping for it to be a touch softer but thats ok given the higher center of gravity. I will see how it wheels and update after that.
Let's see some pics.

Has anyone here had/still have the Metalcloak Overland flip step? I'm looking to purchase a step and really like this set up but want to get your views on it. I'm really interested in this kit because I want to upgrade my fenders in the future to the overline/overland flares.
Would also be good to know if there are any problems with rocks/dirt rubbing between the rails and rocker panels as well as if you also used the Metalcloak rocker exo skin.
Thanks in advance for anything you can share.

I have a Synergy drag link and love it, but I'm not running it flipped because I only have a 2.5 inch MC lift. If your drag link and track bar are parallel to each other, a flipped DL is unnecessary. You really don't see benefits from it until 4-6 inches of lift.

Yes, no issues. How much bump stop are you running now? what shocks are you running?

sorry to change the subject, but can someone with a MC drag link make the following measurement for me please? Also I need to know the bar diameter. (or if you measure to the back of the bar it will not matter.) I need to know what the offset is.
