Tearing out the old. Need new suspension

[2me]

Have the Metal Cloak 3.5 lift with the six pack shocks.
On the road it handles exceptionally well, especially cornering.
Off road the Metal Cloak has amazing articulation, handles everything very well.
Now to save up for a 6.2 LS V8 with the 6L80 auto transmission MoTech LS Kit & I'm done
& ready to take on anything!

I too have the metacloak full gamechanger. I love how it handles on-road. Far superior to stock. It also articulates extremely well off road. Keep in mind its a mid-arm kit that performs about like a long arm. With more money you could make something articulate a little more but I don't know why I would. I'm happy knowing that I didn't have to do any major cutting on my jeep and that I still articulate with the best of them. +1 for Metalcloak.

I think the test for Metalcloak and any lift really is submersion in mud. Once you get that dry grit inside those polymer pieces, it may not remain so tight handling. Same with the metal on metal fittings others use. The problem is, as those parts get beat up, its a gradual change from tight to loose, that the every day driver may not notice that his rig is not what it used to be.

We'd have to take the arms apart in a few years to really tell who is durable and who is not. Its going to come down to who's gear is sealed the best, and how hard the driver is on the rig.
