Yup this is the correct install.
@Mkz567 you might want to look over the whole install.

Will do. I'll have it reinstalled next week. Only problem is i don't do install myself... shop does it so i have to rely on them.

Scary. Should have been fairly obvious to any shop worth its salt. Whole install is suspect IMHO...

Does this matter? I see people install other way?

Not sure if it matters, but metalcloak calls for it the other way. Only thing i can see different is the jam nut bottoming out on the bracket when fully extended

Since they got the trackbar wrong and the control arms the wrong direction, id be curious on if they torqued everything correctly too

...SMH

SMH...i have no idea.

Thats for sure backwards though, that bend over the pumpkin is supposed to face out to clear it when suspension compresses

Mines rock krawler track bar, but you can kind of see the bend outwards, should be like that on yours too

Tire might rub the arm that way, I can’t recall if the one end is longer than the other from the bend

Sorry for the delay. Here is the 2.5" on Falcon 2.1s. I will get more pictures this weekend after I swap out the front bumper.
The rear is sitting at 41 3/4" which is an inch and a half higher with the MC GC than when it was on the Rubi shocks and springs (off a hardtop with steel bumpers). The front measurements are skewed until I get the winch and front bumper on, because I'm currently running with 3/4" RC spacers in the front to compensate.

Are these the stock fenders or rubi takeoffs

Stock, Rubi fenders are higher

Question for those of you with this lift. I know quite a few have run it with 37s. Have any run it with 38s, or should I expect rubbing?

Check out Litebrite's videos on youtube...they are running the MC 3.5" with 38's and barely clear when flexing. They'll rub at 2.5"

Got my arms and rear track bar reinstalled correctly. Now im considering 37" too much gap for 35".
