Okay if you say so. So are you running the stock links with a lift?

I don't have stock wheels anymore, but i did check mine before I sold them.

Yes I have the AEV 2.5" lift and have stock rear links. I was going to replace my rear links and put the rears up front to replace the shitty brackets AEV uses, but they didnt fit. I looked into using the drop blocks that metal cloak sells, but said F it.

Like I said, I didn't measure them. I don't have a Rubi but tbh that is irrelevant. Even at 6" of backspacing, the rims will hit the end links.

Just be careful with the stock links. You don't want to "pretzel" the sway bar. I wouldn't offroad with that setup.
