put on the MetalCloak axle skid plate,steering stabilizer on it went on easy just had to drill one 3/8 hole per directions ...
The Rubicon axle are like 1.5 wider so i had to adjust the tie rod bar for alignment, its good enough to get to the shop .
so i ordered Rubicon express lower control arms, it should help with the ride they say... maybe next year i will do a long arm kit.

Just so you know both the tie rod and drag link are longer on the JL Rubicon than the Sport/Sahara. You will want to get the right ones. Don’t run that one you adjusted with an extra 1.5” of threads sticking out.

This^^^^ That is, unless you want to be dicking around with a bent or broken one out on the trail.

Or worse, rip out what remaining threads are left in tube cruising down freeway. I bet the threads don't even go to pinch area or if they do very close. There is a lot of thread showing there.

That's a bunch of bullshit. I would call another Jeep dealer even if it's a few cities away. These parts guys should be able to get you that info over the phone and order it and even ship it to you. I buy Mopar parts from non-local dealers all the time. Main reason is that my local dealer also sucks.

Best way is to give an online mopar dealer the VIN for a Rubicon and then he can get you all the part numbers listed for it. All Mopar Parts is good st doing that with me.
