I def recommend this company and product to anyone. I look forward to also picking up their game changer in the future. Hope your experience with them is as good as mine was.
I really like the bumper combo you went with. I'm considering going with a similar setup.

I wheel with a guy that has the MC fenders front and rear + rear corners. They are SOLID and look great! I have Xenon fenders now because I got them cheap. Probably go with the MC fenders and corners eventually.

Haha, hope you're talking about my rig, Rick, my friend.

Agree with Ricky 47 100%. Awesome products. Get compliments everytime on their fenders. Outstanding fitment, quality and hardware. Stout as hell. MCs great idea of a sheet template makes the install sooo much easier to deal with nutcerts. Don't feel the price is that big of a difference if you go with only the fenders and no rock corners and led's. If you factor in the cost of panels with the fenders, you get them with the MC's. Apple's to apple's.

No question of clearance with the MC's. Fronts mount almost to the hood line and rear way above the fender line. Is say a safe conservative guess would be an addl 3" of clearance over the other standard fenderwell mount fenders.

Haha, yeah.
Definately not a place I hang out much, though. Too much BS, if u know what I mean. This was our last run at MC.

Ordered full set of control arms and 2.5 springs. Anxious to see the difference (if any).

Well I finally got my jeep back and got to test out my gamechanger on the road. Very impressed with the ride and how it handles in turns and corners. Next step will be on the rocks. Should be fun.
