I have almost the same set up. Ome springs rancho rs5000x shocks. MC track bar rear track bar relocation brackets. I also added iro upper and lower control arms, and I have a body lift I still haven’t put on. But you’ll have a great ride and you will want to get 1 inch bumps top extensions.
If you remove the springs and cycle the axles with a floor jack, you will know exactly how much extension you need.
The bump stop requirements for the front are very different than the rear. What you will discover is that while the rear was bump stopped to keep the shocks from over compressing, the front typically needs to be extended to prevent the tires from eating the sheet metal at full flex. An aftermarket track bar hitting an aftermarket diff cover (or some combination of the two) is also common. It's actually good for people to see that problem. Many don't want to believe it.I cycled the rear but never got around to the front. Took an educated guess to get me through the weekend, and I chose poorly!
I'll cycle the front with the extensions in there and see how it runs.
Got under the Jeep again last night and remeasured the rear from the jounce cup and shock.The bump stop requirements for the front are very different than the rear.

Question for the masses. Typically speaking, bump stop extensions in the front go on the axle while the rear goes between the jounce cup and spring perch.
Any reason why I can't fine tune the jounce cup up front in small increments? It's much easier for me to fine tune fractions of an inch at the cup rather than cutting down hockey pucks. I'm thinking no more than .5" - .75" if needed.
Increased bump stop in the back from 1.5" to 2".
Also increased bumpstop in the front from 1" to 2" (on top of the ~.4" spring pad).
Unfortunalty, the MC Track Bar contacts the Dana 44 diff cover at full bump with any less than 2" added up front. Glad I listened to you guys and cycled the suspension!
On taller lifts, the MC Track Bar will better clear the diff. As you adjust the heim further out, it'll better center the bend over the diff cover. Because I'm only running 2.5" suspension, I have to have the the heim adjusted in to center the axle thus causing interference.

I don't. I'm running OEM's.Do you have adjustable front control arms? I've been running the MC front track bar for several years with 1.5" bump stop extension.
When the MC track bar went in, I had adjustable uppers. But I don't recall how I had them set.I don't. I'm running OEM's.
Did you adjust the axle back a bit to give you more clearance?
I know cam bolts are typically frowned upon, but I wonder if adding cam bolts up front will give me enough adjustability to move the axle back a bit. Adjustable control arms aren't really in the cards for the next few years unfortunately.When the MC track bar went in, I had adjustable uppers. But I don't recall how I had them set.
