Are you still running the MC springs from your Rocklander lift? No issues with the stock wheel backspacing and the 8100's?

Very nice looking Jeep!

Yes, yes! I turned my rocklander into a game changer though. I am now running the MC Dual-Rate 3.5” coils front and rear. No fitment issues. The Rubicon XR wheels are fine with MC lifts and clearance. It’s the other OEM wheels that cause rubbing.

Thanks, I can't tell in your recent photos but did you use the Bilstein shock bottom relocation parts to move it outside the stock mount point?

Sorry for the delay - see attached pictures on how front and rear are mounted. The Metalcloak DB3 rear control arm drop brackets don’t fit MY24 and up.

I am jealous of your adjustable 8100s. I have to make due with regular 8100s.

lol I’m sure the “regulars” are great too! I don’t know if you have 2-doors but I think with 2-doors you benefit more from adjustable because all of these shocks are “tuned for the average population of 95% 4-doors and 5% 2-doors.”

So I’m thinking non-adjustable will be stiff for the low weight of the 2-doors.

I do have the 2 door X and the regular 8100 are great, much better than the prone to fade stock shocks.

Yeah stock sucks. The 8100 in any form are better than most shocks out there. Support German engineering lol

I really appreciate you taking the time to post up those photos. That was exactly what I was looking for. I like the concept of the Metalcloak mounts that turn the eyelet 90 degrees on the front and was wanting to see what the Bilstein version looked like mounted, how far it stuck out, etc.
