I just ordered the front two which should be delivered Monday. Bought the rear ones a couple weeks back so I guess I need to paint them up and get everything ready for install early next week. When you painted yours did you prime first or just paint a couple coats?

Just wiped them down with denatured alcohol and used a combo primer paint , now on the rear you need to scuff up that plastic boot and use an adhesion spray.
I used Krylon Satin black on those ugly red things. I ordered some cheap Pro Comp black boots # 12127 for the front, they are nicer than the Rancho's , I think they were 7.00 for the pair on eBay I think.

Chris please make sure Jamison C gets double points- He and I have basically twin Rubicons now. And sorta like the old cowboy movies the good guys drive white.

You’re going to hear some noise out of some other members that have recently acquired black Rubicons....let us know if they start getting out of line. Actually they would have to be in line to get out of line so I’m not sure we have to worry about it.

I had the same issue with the track bar rubbing the tank skid after SYE kit.

I didn’t realize the Rubicons would do that since they have a DC rear shaft from the factory. Is the rear axle side track bar bracket the same as non-Rubicons?

I think the rubi track bar brackets are the same as non-rubicons. Once you start rotating the pinion, the track bar doesn't care about the Rubicon badge. :ROFLMAO: I'm only on 3" springs, but with the UCF extra clearance skid, the pinion is at a pretty high angle.

What I had thought (wrongly obviously) was that the rubi axle would have all of its stock brackets (track bar, spring perches, shock mounts, control arms) welded on in a different rotation because of it’s different stock pinion angle vs a TJ without a stock DC rear shaft.

Not that I know of at least. I do wish that were the case!
