Next oddball question, does MetalCloak make their driveshafts in house? My buddy is raving about Tom Woods brand as the one to get. I also heard great things about Adam's drive shafts. They are all priced pretty close to each other. What is the brand to get? I believe I only need the front drive shaft for the 3.5" GC lift. Any reason to get the rear?
The front is a need if you are rockcrawling the Jeep. We do not skimp out on shock travel in order to save the front driveline from binding at the t case under full flex. The rear is not a need, I ran my factory rear shaft for a while without any issues. I recommend to replace the rear when you tear the boot which then allows for all sorts of fun stuff to get in there and cause damage.

We get them made by a local company, Sacramento Drive line services who have been in business for a long time. I cannot say anything bad about Adams, Toms, or other driveshaft companies, they make a great product. Sac driveline uses the same core components i.E Spicer u joints so quality is on par with the other guys. The one thing you can say is a bonus with purchasing from us is, we have already done the measuring, so our drivelines are plug and play with the kit. No need to put the kit on, then take measurements to place your order, then wait for your drivelines.
Excellent. Thanks for the info. I'm very close to pulling the trigger. Any sales soon? The package I'm looking at with the HD steering is about $6,100.

The more research I do I’m most likely going to end up with the metal cloak suspension on my jeep. I’m kind of wishing they had an $$$ option for them to pre paint their stuff black so I don’t have to lol.

We have been working with them since the beginning and they work really well for us out here on the west coast. Nothing but good things to say from us about the MT's, MT02's and a lot of us have gone with the XT's including myself and I freaking love this tire. Quiet on the road, killer in snow, and have had them down to 6psi in rocks. Been through Rubicon multiple times, Fordyce, Moab and many other trails with no issues. I understand everyone has their opinions on well.. everything under the sun, but I love my Milestar tires and will continue to run them.

Received my 3.5" game changer suspension today. Looking forward to installing this weekend during the winter storm. My buddy is coming over with a garage heater and we're going to knock it out in two days.
