How are the 6pak shocks for higher speed trails, fireroads, general overlanding? Looking for more of a faster build, lots of travel, speedbumps/hydrolic bumpstops, etc.

Did you already get an install? I'm going with Brothers 4x4 in Montclair. I just ordered a 3.5" Metalcloak lift and I'm going with the Rocksport Shocks for maximum articulation.

Does anyone know if 10% is the best black Friday deal there is?

Eta: I'm also curious about the wheel backspace selection on the website, I'm going to go with the six packs to start but plan on hutchinson rock monster wheels, should I choose the standard or six pack option for that section

i suggest the aftermarket wheels option, it is links vs drop bracket in the rear for the sway bars.

The code is good all week long

wearethankful

if you are fire, police, ems or military use USAhero. They will contact you for verification

that’s the best deal they offer

My wheels are 8.5" wide with a 0mm offset, giving me backspacing of 4.75inch. Was it correct of me to choose the "stock wheels" choice since it mentions [backspacing>4.5"]?

Thanks!

i would consult with MC directly for final verdict but my suggestion is to contact them ASAP and swap that to aftermarket wheels. You’re currently going to be receiving the sway bar drop bracket and while it works, I prefer the longer links. You’ll have plenty of clearance with 4.75”

Thanks Brett, I'm still going back and forth with the 2.5 - 3.5, leaning hard to the 2.5 since I'm goin with max terrain flares and inner fender wells. And if I want more I can just swap springs.

I have to say my wife and I installed our MC GC 2.5" about a month ago and we love it so far. We have 37" Milestars on it as well and it really looks and rides nice. It sits a little higher on the left, but we think it is still settling.

We took it to Tahuya our local ORV trail and it was just impressive.

So if I purchase this setup what else do I need to buy to run it on my yet to be built JL Unlimited Wrangler Sport? Besides 37 inch wheels of course. And possibly 4.88s or 5.13s. Driveshaft? Shocks? Maybe upgrade the front axle?

I bought the 3.5 and ordered RCV axle shafts, 5.13 gears, hd steering, and a sector shaft brace so far.
