I run the Falcon 2.1s with my MC 3.5 and they are excellent.

Interesting...seems very subjective. Several have reported the MC coils are a little stiffer and Rocksport shocks tend to be a little softer, so they pair well together. Another person recently tried falcon 2.1 shocks with MC 2.5" coils and said it rode stiffer than his previous RK coils with the same falcon shocks. He switched to Rocksport shocks with the MC coils and said the ride softened a good bit and was very close to stock like.

I never said they rode soft. There is a lot more to a shock than just how firm or soft they are. Personal preference comes into play here. They work GREAT on my setup.

Who claimed that you said something rode soft? I said that ride quality is subjective. Glad you like your 2.1's and RK coils.

I'll be able to update you soon. I have 3.3s and the 2.2 adjustable steering stabilizer going on this week. I currently have a Evo lift now so it'll be Evo springs with the falcons.

Same for me once I'm able to get them on. I'm skipping the steering stabilizer for now. I have a full steer smarts kit on the way and am curious how tight it will be with the stock stabilizer.

I just went ahead and got the steering stabilizer just incase. I will also be getting all the rear control arms installed and the front uppers from EVO installed too. I already have their front lowers on. Hopefully after this, I won't have to touch the suspension for a while.

Love em. They're mated with probably the most Frankenstein lift on this website .Falcon 3.3, Mopar bump stops and springs, Rancho Mopar spring pads, metalcloak track bars and front LCAs. Rides great and wow is the adjustability incredible. Setting 1 makes you feel like your driving a sail boat on the highway in rough winds while setting 3 tightens it up to a frieght trail on rails. Very happy with them.

My only question is if I want to complete the metalcloak arms setup and get the two rear and upper front arms. $865 isn't chump change but it would be nice to have. Will I see a big difference? It already flexes out like crazy

What setting are you using for highway? What settings are us using for the trails?

I'm running on setting 2.3 for daily driving. Highway I've done 1 and it was super plush like a SUV but felt a little more boaty for obvious reasons.

Completely agree with this. Running a MC 2.5" lift and the Falcon 3.3 w/ the Falcon JK 2.2 steering stabilizer. The Falcon JL stabilizer doesn't work great with aftermarket tie rods. Jeep rides awesome. From slight body roll firm to soak up the bumps soft, these shocks are great. Still tweaking on the micro adjustments on level 2.

+1 for the Falcon 2.1's. Work great with my Teraflex 2.5 SP2 Sport Lift.

Have a 2013 with 3 1/2 teraflex lift with 2.0 falcon, been a great setup, ordered 2020 using teraflex lift again with 3.1 falcon, had adjustable shocks before usually never made changes so not sure adjustable for me, but falcon great shocks

i have a bit of a frankenlift myself.
Long story short im running the 2” mopar lift springs (softer rate/single rate spring/cheap)

stock arms with drop brackets. Thinking of going to the 3.3 falcons on my 2dr JL.

you still running this set up? Recommend?

No I’m not. I ended up going with king 2.5s custom valved by accutune. I’ve been very impressed with this setup and I don’t see myself switching from it anytime soon.
