MC is the only ones I would consider, if I ran them…..

I'm a huge fan of the metal cloak front brackets, still trying to decide how much there is to gain by adding the rears.

@Metalcloak rears, I love how they change the angle outward from the frame too less binding sideways.

My axle is forward, my arms are really steep, my pinion is off. I feel like for my use leveling out the control arms a little is the simple easy answer to get a happy medium.

Looks like you have to use their arms too so now it’s a big deal.

With stock arms, I don't think your pinion is off. It should be pointed at the transfer case output throughout the swing of the arms even under full droop. If you put 10" of lift it would still be pointed at the transfer case. The other 2 issues are definitely legit and I agree that drop brackets are the solution for arm angles and centering the axle in the wheel wells vs adjustable arms that can only help with the centering and do nothing for the angles.

So pointed directly at the transfer case? My pinion is pointed at the ground a bit. I didn’t measure it.

States adjustable just not stock. @Metalcloak can confirm

I was thinking of an aftermarket drive shaft with a cv joint. With the factory rezpa joints they can operate even at different angles. So long as it doesn't exceed 7⁰ at ride height you should be good to go.

Oof, I didn’t notice the mounting position in your pic the first time. Looks like back spacing would be an issue for me. Stock willys wheels.

Cool, I’m not at seven degrees. I’m going to set the Jeep up proper and take good measurements and see what’s off. New OME springs and I went from perfect highway manners to crap. I had rubicon springs and a 1/2 spacer in the front and it was great. Camping equipment destroyed those springs. Lol

Correct... any adjustable arms will work. Stock arms will not. Of course we'd prefer you use Metacloak... ;-)

Would stock Willy wheels be okay with these as far as backspacing?

Why won't stock arms work? Pinion Angie? Could you just run adjustable uppers or lowers?
