Metalcloak 2.5" Kit NOW LIVE

[HotKarlTheJL]

@CloakedJL 2 questions regarding the game changer kit without shocks:

Is it possibly to use a shock extension bracket in conjunction your relocation brackets if I wanted to use my stock rubi shocks until I can afford the 6pak shocks?

If not, can I just leave off the relocation brackets and use the stock location + extension brackets with your kit without damaging anything?

Either way Im doing essentially just rough forest roads. Not rock crawling or anything like that.

We do have shock extensions that will make the stock shocks work for you, they are actually basically the 6Pak mounts as well.

I would say if you can, I would recommend the Rocksport Edition if you can and then upgrade those to 6Paks down the road. The Rocksports will give you the ride quality we expect and that is not always true of the stock shocks. They will also give you a ton of travel so your off-roading wont be limited as with the stock shocks.

If you do go with out brackets, basically you would use just them and the stock locations and then continue using them with the 6Paks down the road.

@CloakedJL can you provide any pictures of this lift kit installed? Would like to see the actual stance. Thanks.

For those trying to still fit the JL in the garage do we have any average numbers on total height for a Rubicon with hardtop on 37" tires (Cooper STT's in my case) for the Rocksport kits?

2.5" versus 3.5" kit measurements? Would love to go 3.5" but my garage door clearance is about 79"s which might be pretty close? I think I'm at 75" tall with a 2.5" spacer lift currently.

In this thread, this owner is running our 3.5" with 38s and fits in his garage. Sorry don't have an exact measurement on me, hope this helps.

The 3.5" should be live any day now on the site, they are currently working to get the 2.5" coils finished up testing so we can do the production order on those. So that will be after the new year more than likely on that.

I can't decide between 2.5 or 3.5... can't wait to see pics.

Same. I think for a Sport / Sahara I think would want to get the 3.5 due to the lower fenders without the huge fender gap. The Rubicon, with the raised fender makes even 37s look small with the 3.5" lift. So as a Rubicon owner, I'm currently leaning towards the 2.5."
