Default Rubicon Express front track bar work with ARB diff cover??

Does anyone know if the front track bar from the Rubicon Express 3.5 kit will clear an ARB diff cover? I read in an older thread that the bar has issues hitting aftermarket diff covers.

If anyone has any recent pics of the basic 3.5 lift installed on their jk, I'd love to see some pics.

I just had my gears installed yesterday and had the ARB diff covers installed at the same time. Does not look like there is any clearance issues to me, although I have not disconnected and drooped completely. I have the Rubicon super flex kit with both front and rear Rubicon Express Track bars.

I have Rubicon Express 3.5 Superflex kit installed with ARB Covers and have not had any rubbing at all after being disconnected at full flex.

Great! Thanks for the info 09Jeep4x and Bobicon. I was hoping to get the basic lift soon and I already have the arb covers. I'll have to add lower front arms as budget allows.

Nice color change on the covers btw.

I helped a friend put in some JKS arms today. Very beefy and quality product. Now I just need cash.

Hey guys, since no one mentioned anything about it, I'm assuming the ARB cover clears the tie rod completely?

I'm thinking of getting some for front and rear.

Thanks.

Default Clearance issues

I have the 4.5 long arm R/E lift with ARB covers and no problems front or rear.
