Metalcloak 3.5" Game-Changer JLU Suspension

[Metalcloak]

The Metalcloak 3.5" Game-Changer Suspension, made famous (infamous?) on the JK platform, has been shipping now for a couple months for the JLUR and now is tested and available for the JLU.

A full and complete kit that includes all 8 Kevlar-infused Duroflex Control Arms, front and rear Durotrak Track Bars, front and rear adjustable Bump Stops, front and rear extended sway bar links, and our signature True Dual Rate coils that do not need special isolators to prevent bowing.

You can see some of these products and a few others in this video featuring the "legendary" John Cappa:

The kits are available in either the 6Pak Edition (15" Travel 6Paks front and rear) or the Long Travel RockSport Edition (12" Travel front and rear).

Also available in a no-shock edition.

P.S... 2.5" and 2-Door Kits Coming Soon.

What’s the lift threshold for driveshafts?

What’s the lift threshold for driveshafts?

I believe the stock front driveshaft runs out of steam with max shock extension bigger than around 29-30".

Thank you, so what would your estimate be on the max lift height before needing replacement? 3”?

When we bought our lift from John he suggested getting the new DS. Said when these flex the boots are getting torn due to the large diameter of the factory DS. Figured it’s cheap insurance and I’ll keep the factory as a backup. Would be a pain to fix in the trail but back at my truck I have air tools which would help a ton

Makes sense for sure. I have run into several people on the trail freaking out their “Jeep was broken” and it was a ripped DS boot. I have already planned on getting front and rear with my lift to be safe, but I haven’t really seen much info about where the line is. My first two JK’s only had 2.5” lifts and I had the 2” MOPAR lift on my last JKUR (with added 3/4” spacers), but that came with a front shaft and I never had problems in the rear.

Why is this item listed as 2.5/3.5?

JL Wrangler Game-Changer Suspension, 2.5"/3.5", RockSport Edition

Can it be either or does it depend on the starting Model?

Oh ok. So all the linkage is enough to handle both. Thanks

Yes sir!

I'm thinking of picking up a game changer 3.5 in an auction, but not sure if it has the sway bar disconnect or the extension. Can I buy the correct piece separately if it's not the right one? Maybe trade it in

Is this the right one?
