Free shipping got you too? LOL!
Shoot! I wish. I bought mine a couple weeks ago and they weren’t offering it. I wasn’t worried about being caught up with the Black Friday sale and not get the lift early enough. We’re bringing the Jeep home on stock suspension and 37s. It’s going from the trailer straight to the lift for the lift.

Exact same set up here. 3.5 Metalcloak, 38s Milestar Patagonia. For people wondering about fitting in the garage, no problem with my standard garage door opening of 6'10". No noticable power loss after using Tazer Lite but lost 8th gear.

Awesome!

What is your wheel width and offset? Any bump steer?

I need a way to mount my 38” spare... any suggestions? Would like an inexpensive solution.
Not 100% sure but I think those are bead looks not bead locks. I could be wrong but if you were charged for the lock rings you might want to triple check. Cool Jeep.

Lost a gear of your transmission but did not lose power? I’m confused.

Yes and no... they are currently in the bead look configuration. As you probably know, I can convert them to beadlocks with the optional bead rings. I wanted to run them this way while I finish the rest of the Jeep, beadlock rings are on the wish list and will be added later.

Looks great @Zenk
Question for you: any issues running those mopar wheels with the MetalCloak lift? I think those wheels have 5.8” backspacing. We’re you able to use the MC front shock relocation brackets with those wheels? How about the extended rear sway bar links?
Thanks. I’m seriously considering this, but I’m locked into 17x8.5” wheels with 5.2” backspacing. MetalCloak seems to think 4.5” backspacing is needed to run their kits as designed.

Yes, 8th gear will make an appearance from now and then, on the freeway....downhill. Acceleration hasn't changed, which I was referring to when I said no real power loss. And with 7th used mostly at highway cruising speeds, RPMs are still hovering around 2000.

The Mopar Beadlock has a backspacing of 4.4" (12mm offset). It is 8" wide in the beadlook config, and 8.5" wide is the beadlock config.

I'm having zero issues with this wheel on the MC 3.5 GC lift.... BUT... this wheel is a little on the narror side for the big Patagonias (recommended width is 11").
