You realize that you never mentioned the intended use of the Jeep. That makes all the difference in what..... if anything..... needs upgrading.

I thought i did not need to explain that part.
Sure its gonna be doing Road/highway use since its going to be my main vehicle except going to work cause i got a small car for that. So a super nice ride on the highway is always appreciated.
As for the off-road use, its going to be Rock crawling in hard trail mountain/wood type. In a near future i would also like to go to Moab and Rubicon trail and such. Overlanding also. So its kind of a good for everything jeep im gonna need.
Weekend warrior style...

Hope it helps a little.

Soooooooo...
1. Metal cloak has the best arms on the market. Dealt with Currie, evo, synergy, teraflex, rubicon express, pro comp, rock krawler, rough country...etc. metal cloak has the best arms because they are well manufactured and have the best joint design/function.
2. You are looking to spend an assload on shocks you don’t understand or likely need
3. Steer smarts makes good linkage
4. Have you planned for track bar relocation to match drag link flip angles so you can prevent bump steer and the need for a stabilizer
5. If you are looking at stabilizers have you looked at the aforementioned steering geometry

Hopefully that helps but it’s all opinions. Do what you gotta do.

Hey Josh, So you say that Metal cloak has the best arms on the market, but Currie LCA is 1.63 diameter x .25 wall and Metal cloak is only 1.5 Diameter x .18 wall. That's a huge difference in size and wall thickness. Wouldn't the larger dia and thicker wall be better or is it the joint design that makes it better? Actually Tereflex and Synergy also are larger dia and wall thickness.
Also, I'm looking at a new track bar. Do you think the Yeti is better then the Metal cloak (part number 7616)? Is there one that's better.

I don't do much off roading, I'm just trying to correct my wondering my Jeep has and I want to make the right choice.

Serious thoughts?
Drive it for a few thousand miles before doing anything to it.
Once your confident it has no issues, have at it....sounds like it is going to be a bad ass jeep.
AND will be doing bad ass jeep things.

Thanks buddy. Thats probably what's gonna happen. Actually right now im still waiting on my jeep. I've ordered one exactly like i wanted. But in the meantime, i already bought a bunch of parts... I could not resist. Got the poison Spyder front and rear bumper (bruiser series). Ordered some rigid lights. And as for the suspension i decided to give a try to the Metalcloak Game Changer 3.5" Rocksport Edition. I've ordered it but im not sure how much time is it gonna take before i receive it. The reason why i went with MC is after looking at lot of build on the internet, it really seems like a good kit and its also cheaper than EVO.
As for the tire and wheels, its gonna be 37's on Machete beadlock or method wheel, something like that. But because of money resources not being unlimited, im probably gonna ride the jeep stock for a while and wait till i get everything i want to modify it like i want. That way i will know how it ride before putting everything on it.
