Metalcloak lift

[Like_coffee]

Anyone know how to fix the pitch/roll being off after the lift? Uconnect is stating that my Jeep has a 5 degree pitch and 1 degree roll on leveled ground.

I contacted Metalcloak after my install because I was afraid the shop screwed something up. They said in some cases they need to ship out spacers to even out the lift height on one side. They also said I could give it a month or two to see if it leveled out after the suspension broke in a bit. It's been 6 months and it's still a bit off (about 3/8" higher on drivers side). I really don't want to pay the shop to install the spacers so I've just dealt with it. Bit frustrating though.

@Like_coffee my issue was resolved. I parked at a flat surface and used my flashcal to reset stability control.
Now my pitch/roll on uconnect is dead on.

@DeezJT it looks like something weird is going on with the front end. Is the shock disconnected? It might just be the picture but it also looks like the axle is pushed too far to the passenger's side. The sway bar link looks like it's leaning a lot.

First thing I noticed was the shock wasn’t connected to the outboard shock bracket. Not surprised it caused issues. One thing to note for people is you REALLY need to take note of the backspacing recommendations from Metalcloak. Because of the outboard shock bracket you HAVE to have the proper back spacing or your wheel/tire will rub the bracket and it hate to see someone have a catastrophic or costly accident.

Yup, it’s normal. And so is your concern ha. I took my control arm off cuz I thought I messed it up! Glad I’m not the only one

@DirtyD did u flip the passenger side disconnect when u installed? My pin was on the passenger tire side and it caused an angled lean. I flipped it to the other side and now the disconnect link is leveled.

Ordered my 3.5" Game Changer Suspension with the RockSports and the Driveshaft today. I'm so excited. I've still got to decide which 37s and which wheels I want to put on it as well.

@MadCat0911 congrats. Now the wait begins. I waited two weeks and everyday I’m always at the MC site until I received it. Your going to love it. It’s super smooth on long trips and firm on curvy roads. Love it and I’m sure you will too.

Deez,

Currently looking into similar setup as you. Max tow, already did the fender chop months ago. Wondering if you ever got off road to test flex? My only concern is whether I should go 4.5" or not to allow me to keep my current fenders for a while instead of buying Rubi fenders. Plan to go up on 37s as well.

Thanks

You should be fine, especially with the chop kit. It'll yield you a few inches of up travel, at full flex the first contact point would have been the plastic area that is chopped off.

I'm running 39s with this kit, no chop.. granted rubicon fenders. Yours being 37s plus chop, you're good.

 

[DeezJT]

@Jtcunningham no I haven’t had time. I’m really not sure if it will rub the fenders but I do plan to get rubi fenders in the near future as I placed my heat gun on top of the fender when removing my decal...it did melt the plastic a bit.

Had my MC 3.5” installed. Paired with Falcon 3.3’s. Running Nitto 35x12.5x17 on Pro Comp La Paz series 39 wheels with 4.5” bs.

Apologies for the year-old necro, but what was the poke on that setup, WhiteJt8541? With those La Paz series 29s? Looks like a great setup.
