It's coming or so they have told me.I'm hoping MetalCloak doesn't come out with a 2-2.5" kit.
Less temptation. I'm staying stock height damnit.

Looks great.I got mine installed last week. It is the Rocksport Edition, but I'm still waiting on the rocksports to come in. Also installed the mopar beadlocks wrapped in 37x12.5 STT Pros. I'm loving it so far, but cant wait to see how it rides with the rocksports. Here are a couple of pics from when i finished the install. My spare tire didn't ship with the others, and I just picked it up last night. Going to get it on today, take some good pics and start an official build thread soon. I'll update this post with the thread link when I do.
I messaged metalcloak before purchasing and they said they had been wheeling the setup with no DS issues so far. I do believe you would run into issues if you were seeing full shock extension a lot. I don't plan on swapping DS anytime soon. It will see the trails but I will be taking somewhat easy while it's still under warranty. Also where I live there isn't a lot of riding options unless you are on private land, but I have three bordering states with nice options. It just takes a bit more planing to make a weekend out of it. It's not a DD... more of the family fun car that will see 80/20 roads to trails. I wanted it to be driver though with a nice ride and liked the idea of duroflex joints. So far very pleased and can't wait for the rocksports to get here.Looks great.
The Rocksport goes to 30" extended and Rock Krawler now also show TT system with shocks, 30" extended. However, I see Rock Krawler recommending a new front C.V. driveshaft for travel larger than 29". It is probably at the edge around 29-30", so it might be OK. Do you plan to change the driveshaft? Anybody else have recommendations on this?
Well it's shiny, that's for sure! Hahaha Definitely impressed with how well relocating the shocks worked out. 3.5" taller with the same stock shocks and no increased body roll. Other than that I haven't gotten to really play with it yet on the trails, but pavement manners are stock-tastic. Also, I shortened the UA's up to ride it at 6deg caster and holy shit does the steering feel great!!I would love to hear any feedback from anyone who has the kit installed so far! (Good or Bad!!) An update on the Rocksports shocks, we will have the shocks themselves early to mid next month and will ship all the backordered shocks out first!
I was wondering if a change in caster would make a large improvement in wondering.Well it's shiny, that's for sure!

Now, can we please see some more peeks of those upcoming fenders???

Couple of questions:
1.) Are you running the stock Rubicon shocks?
2.) Did the kit come with alignment specs, or did you just align to factory specs?
