I looked at those and the Teraflex but they're a little more than I wanted to spend on bump stops. I already lifted it to gain a little more height and its not anything that I'll be doing any extreme stuff in. I just wanted a little more clearance and a a little more up travel for weekend...
After seeing how close the front bump stops were on the front end just at ride height was my justification... lol. With the winch and lights and hoop, I was about an inch away from the bump stops.
Also remember that if you go with the 3.5" lift, you'll want longer shocks to use all that new flex you're paying for with the suspension. Longer shocks for taller lifts potentially means a new front drivshaft. You could have the same issue with a 2.5" lift as well depending on shock extended...
Metalcloaks are also maintenance free joints. As other people have said, everyone loves both kits and both kits are hight quality. Do you prefer all black underneath or do you like the gold.
Everyone raves about metalcloaks customer service and i can attest to that. They will call the...
Just for reference... here is my XR with the Metalcloak 2.5" with stock wheels and tires (315/70R17). I gained about 1.5" in the front. The rear was about 2" taller than the front and I swapped for 2 door 2.5" rear springs to level it out.
Here's a few pics for you. Mounts very solid to the bumper. It leaves enough rom to attach a hoop from a tow strap to the hooks if needed, unlike the Warn hoop.
If you do the track bars last after you put tires on and it's on the ground. You can measure the difference from side to side and then measure your stock track bars and set the new track bar length based off of those measurements.
Also doing it while on the ground, you can completely remove...
I just came across this thread and thought that i'd check in as to what anyone has found out. I was ordering some stuff from Metalcloak recently and they said that their front diff cover/skid plate doesn't fit from 2021 and on. I'm not sure what changed but that is what the told me.
Ok, I have a 2021 Rubicon 392 XR. I have the factory steel bumpers with a Warn VR Evo 10S winch installed. I have Rockslide Engineering steps. I have a Maximus XLP hoop on front bumper. I plan on keeping the stock wheels and tires for now.
I just received my Metalcloak 2.5" lift (not yet...
That includes the mount. They are currently mounted and I just measured them on the Jeep from the bumper to the top of the light. Thanks for thinking ahead though.
Can you by chance give me a measurement on the distance from the top of the bumper to the bottom of the bull bar hoop. I have the KC Flex Era 4 lights and need to find a bar that clears them, but i don't want a really tall bar. I really like the look of the Maximus-3 bull bars but i'd hate to...
