Teaser sent out today. Any thoughts on Metalcloak? Looks like decent stuff.

They're a relatively new company with interesting ideas and some of which are pretty good and are really good at marketing. Their 6-pak shocks are gimmicky at best, have a history of leaking at worst and really, for the cost, you really should be looking at coil overs. Their tie-rods have been known to bend and their control arms too. Their joints are nice but I still prefer tried and true Johnny Joints.
I have nothing really to add but I spit out my coke I was drinking.Chipotle is a game-changer for your underwear too. I hope Metalcloak isn't using the same funky shocks that they did on the JK.

Is Metalcloak really that new? When I decided to go with them for my TJ's track bar they seemed pretty well established.
Supposedly been around since 2006. I'm not sure if that means anything.:idontknow:
I pre ordered their 3.5" kit and should get my Jeep in a month or so. I will respond to posts about my experience with them as I see them pop up. Metal Cloak is localish to me and I have heard good things about them so I wanted to give them a shot.
Yea, time will tell. I have never actually bought a lift kit before, I have always been building something and piecing it together. I hope to get to the Rubicon this summer with the lift and 37's if it doesn't work I will get rid of it and start over. Does anyone know the pricing on EVO's long arm kit with the coilovers?
I ran a full game changer on my JKUR. I liked the control arms. I did not like the six packs as I was constantly refilling with nitrogen. So many times I had to purchase my own zero loss filling system to keep them topped off. I did not like the sag I got from the dual rate springs and I really hated how the tie rod would bend by just yelling at it a little. I have gone to full coilovers on that jeep but i still run the MC control arms.
That jeep did the Rubicon trail last September with the MC arms. I know its not the hardest trail around but the arms performed well... The tie rod is an entire different story
