Metalcloak Game-changer upper front control arms?

[TerraJL]

Does anyone know if the Metalcloak upper front control arms bend up or down when installed? Stock uppers have the bend going down. Metalcloak’s install guide doesn’t specify. Do the orient with the bend up or down?

If you look at the pic on the install instructions it shows the bend is down.

I'm curious as to what kit you have? I looked at mine last night, and my upper control arms don't have a bend to them.

I'm pretty sure they changed the design. I recently was gifted a gamechanger kit for a gladiator to harvest the front end components. Not only are the front upper control arms straight, but the rear trackbar for the gladiator was straight as well. Both new designs have a bend in them now.

I called and asked why the difference. They said they had issues with them rubbing on the frame at full flex on the diesels so they changed them.

mine are straight also. the stock arms are oval shaped near the frame providing more clearance.
