If you haven't bought it yet I'd suggest the rock krawler triangulated uppers instead. Eliminates the track bar entirely but also fixes the pinion dive you get from the short uppers with long lowers of the factory set up and also Eliminates the cross talk between the front and rear bars virtually eliminating the head toss crossing uneven surfaces. By far the best upgrade I've done to the truck from a handling perspective.

Got ya. I just got update today that mine have shipped. I’ll have to figure out paint next. Either I try it myself or pay to get it done. I’m going to paint the tube sides and underneath textured black and paint match the fender side white.

All here now and off to powder coating. Found a place doing custom colors and was cheaper than conventional paint to color match. I will definitely post when done but around a 2 week wait.

Lift…still haven’t decided between the 2.5-3.5 Clayton overland…even after 3 years.
Tires…was really thinking cooper STT Pro’s, but Direct tire has them listed as discontinued. May go with trail grapplers.

Got a SteerSmarts Track Bar coming.

Trying to track down a clicking sound in the front. Fingers crossed this fixes it. If not, I'll move to the Drag Link.

The tires are wearing great so far. Have over 5,000 miles on them and they still look like new. Off road they are great. Rain is no problem. Haven't had a chance in the snow yet. They do hum on the highway.

Is that the pro series? If so, I’d highly recommend the low profile clamps. The included ones are HUGE.

I also purchased the upgraded clamps.
I bought mine originally without them, and as soon as I saw how big the normal ones were, ordered the low profile.

I have one concern though. I'm afraid it might not clear my aftermarket diff cover. Can you confirm my concern?

I have the stock cover, but have the huge next venture diff skid. It doesn’t seem to get close to the diff. I think it’ll be fine unless it’s an inch thick.
