The ones supplied were all the same length. For the back they were perfect fit. For the front they are just waaaaay too long. Prolly perfect for the 3.5 kit, but had to use the stock rear links for the front which were perfect.

We did a 2.5 on my jk on Friday. Wasn't bad at all. Just take your time and preferably have somebody with lift experience. Brad and I helped but Jay and Brian with Stomper Offroad were the pros. A lift and air tools made all the difference. It rides and handles AWESOME. MetalCloak has designed a very complete system that works exactly as advertised.
I originally ordered the 3.5, but was shipped 2.5 springs. Stomper is going swap them out for the 3.5"s.
For those who have done the Game Changer Lite 3.5, what was your net lift in front and back?
Here is before and after.
Thanks,
Ted

I'm confused.
We used the stock rears in the rear and the supplied set in the front. Kit only came with one set of links. When installed on the 2.5" spring kit the arms are up just slightly.
Hmmm?

This is what I thought was the correct install as well. Have you all actually contacted MC with your questions or are you just making up your own fixes as you go?

We installed the stock rear sway links but the kit included trapezoidal spacers that lower the sway bar. That spacer is intended to be used with wheels with more than 5.5" of BS. Not sure if there is any issue running that spacer, stock links and 4.7 BS wheels.

when I spoke with Will at MC regarding the front sway bar being slightly angled up, he said the new end links are installed correctly and it was behaving as designed. I have new end links front and rear for my 2.5" kit. I also have wheels with 4.75 BS.

for the 2.5" lift, putting 12.5" links up front is too much up angle. Sway bars are designed to be parallel or 5* above parallel to the ground. Put the rears up front and use the 12.5" links in the back.

exactly. putting the rears up front and using the provided in rear makes more sense.
