Hi Guys I am having a hard time choosing a lift for my eco diesel. I am thinking to go with either metal Cloak 3.5" Game Changer or teraflex 3.5 ST3 which way should I go? or is there a better lift that will compete with those 2 lifts?
thank you

Making an assumption based on the roof rack you might be loading it heavy. If that is the case you may want to consider AEV. They have stiffer springs than some to handle heavier loads. It also leads to very good on road handling.
They are lacking adjustable track bars (has relocation bracket for rear) so if you go that route I’d recommend at least a new adjustable front one.

I did a double take when I saw your picture.

if you got yours with the front trail cam, let me know if you figure out a way to relocate it. I was thinking a hole in the skid might be perfect since I only want to use it when rolling up to a ledge.

Hi John, welcome to the board…..

Of the two lifts you mentioned, I would recommend Metal Cloak. As you’re about to find out, there’s a lot of love for MC on this board, and for good reason, they’re a great company.
I personally am running Rock Krawler, details in here if interested……

Good luck with your build, and if you need anything feel free to reach out……✌

I went with the aev lift because of how it road on the highway and it does well offroad. They have diesel specific springs which was also something I wanted in the kit. I've been super happy with it and it does great off road.

How are the RKs? Are they specifically made for the diesel?

Nice picture man So far I got 2 people telling me the same thing I’m gonna look in to it. I don’t have a front camera but that would be a good spot to put it if I had one.

Thank you very much. I'm running the cooper at3 xlt in 37's. They measure right at 35.5" at pressure with the weight of the jeep.

I’ve got a Clayton 3.5” Overland+ lift w/ Falcon 3.3 Shocks. This is my first lift/Jeep and I’m still working through some stuff and learning. (Silver)

My brother in law also has an ED on an AEV 2.5” lift. He loves it and hasn’t had to do anything w/ it since installing. (Black)

I am running full MC 3.5 GC. This has served me well. Only running 325's at the moment (measures 34.5) but will go to 37 after the tires wear out.

Thanks. I have the upgraded steering box and the fox stabilizer. The jeep handles great, very good steering. MC has nailed the design. I am currently getting between 23 and 25 mpg overall. On and off road this jeep amazes me.

Buddy did the MC 2.5 for diesel. The kit with with front uppers. He went all out on the shocks choosing to run ADS. He let me drive it and was real nice.
