Also, anyone have experience with ruff stuff tie rods or drag links and clearance with the diff and trackbar?

Did anyone run their factory shocks with metalcloaks shock relocator brackets that come in the kit? Are the weld-on?

I run those brackets with rancho shocks. They are bolt on and work great

Excellent to hear. Looks like I'll be spending the $1100.

I have them and I don't regret buying them. However, you are going to need to buy a tank and regulator so that you can charge them from time to time.

Make sure that you can use the up travel or they are a waste of money. If you don't have 3.5" of backspace you will need to install spacers to get the up travel.

I am running 37 (35.5") KO2 with PSC fenders. 2" bumpstop on all 4 corners. 3.5"Gamechanger. MC driveshafts and exhaust spacers.

Hope this helps.

Metal cloak heavy duty tie rod and drag link pretty good? They're a lil cheaper than most others I've looked at and don't require an offset wheel or wheel spacers
