Snarf has been away on vacation.... He defiantly owes us an update.
Hey Rexx19
Thanks!
Can't wait to see how Metal Cloak is performing over the months.
I saw a guy at a jeep event this past weekend, who loved his Metal Cloak LCAs.
I do owe an update. I've had this off-roading only once since completion. I qualify off-roading as driving a trail that most 4x4s could not pass through un-assisted and that would challenge a stock jeep/driver. I went up to PA and spent a day running her around to see how she flexed and climbed. Overall..I'm impressed.Quote:

Where I was wheeling, I didn't have the ability to air-down and back up..so that definitely limited some of my capability as I was wheeling on steep hills, over big rocks..at street pressure.
The gamechanger flexed without any real effort on my part. I just picked my lines and the lift did its job. I know that sounds a bit silly..but the fact that I didn't have any binding or swaybar issues, or odd noises was great. The thing flexes a lot. In fact..I think my bump stops are preventing my full ability to flex and tuck these KM2s.
I plan on heading up to Rausch Creek at the end of the month where I will air down and spend the day wheeling with some local jeepers in my area. Aired down, I plan to get some better idea of if I can remove a section of bumpstop without ripping off my overline fenders. I also need to make sure that my tire does't touch the front 6-pack shock under full compression.
Interestingly, my buddy Jeff now refers to each 6-pack shock as a "box-o-shocks" which is kinda catchy, and fairly accurate...since each has 3 pistons, and 3 reservoirs.
SO far I'm loving it...and i"m loving the simplicity. The on-road handling is much more gentle over bumps and much more level around turns. Very happy with my investment.

We should do a JeepLab Rausch Creek Trail ride!
I'm in, whenever you guys are.Quote:

I know! Its very impressive, especially for a 2 door. I can't get over how well a fully bolt-on Metalcloak Gamechanger suspension allows for this kind of off road performance while I say more level around turns on the highway at speed. Just boggles the mind!Quote:
