I appreciate it Word302. Might consider this as well.
The Metalcloak Rocksport is $1639 with shocks and comes with front and rear track bars as well as sway bar disconnects. Their quality is awesome as well.

LCAs are not adjustable and no front track bar. You're again paying more for less.
Damn. The metalcloak Rocskport looks tempting but then I will have to most likely get the aftermarker driveshaft, right?

No. Definitely not on the 2.5" kit. I tore the boot on my front shaft with a 3.5" lift, but everything still works fine. You'll only tear the boot under extreme articulation.

Look at like this... with the mc 2.5 rocksport, its one and done. You’ll have a lift that rides great and when you start doing more off-roading ( and you will at some point) you’ll have one of the best lifts on the market under your rig. It’s better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it. This goes for rock krawler as well.......:)

I'm about to make another thread for additional discussion. If the driveshaft is not needed, then we have a whole different ball game here :rock: Thanks for the help, honestly and feel free to chime in the other thread but so far it looks like it's between RK and MC.

Glad we could steer you in the right direction.

How are these lifts with 300+ pounds of cargo load? The Dynatrac bottoms out easily.

I went with the Metalcloak 2.5” lift with Rocksport shocks. It’s really good however it does feel a bit stiff. I don’t have a problem with it tho, makes the steering a bit more firm

Thanks. Just curious mostly. I bought mine new with the Mopar already on it. I have a friend that was talked into a rough country lift by a local tire shop and he's looking to upgrade. He was trying to decide if he should do Mopar, or I suggested Metalcloak and Rock Krawler, or he could just do springs and shocks and mix/match.
