Metalcloak lift

[Jeepin19]

Has anyone installed the game changer with 2.5" front springs and the 3.5" in the rear. According to Metalcloak this would come pretty close to maintaining factory rake. Pictures would be appreciated. I am considering this configuration, as well as the 2.5" level with a 0.75" spacer in the rear to get it close to level. I just have a hard time seeing that the 2.5" level actually levels it, vs making it nose high. Also has anyone seen a rear spacer that is 1-1.5"?

Im considering the same combo of the 2.5 level kit and a rear .75 to 1.5in spacer as well.
I've found a few other options between 1-1.5

Got my 3.5” GC lift put on. She drives soo much better. Details in my build thread.

So 24 hours in after driving on the new lift... is that it got a sporty feel, no more wallowing and bouncing like stock did. Steering is straight down the road, exactly what I was hoping for... now on the shocks... well I have them set 2.3 on front and 2.4 on the rear. Setting 3 was too stiff and I leave setting 1 for off road. Since they are sp2’s... I checked all my shocks and set them on the soft/cold setting. I’m really digging the setup except I need to get some offroad time in to break the springs in. MC springs are notorious for being stiffer at the start of their life but... with some off road therapy they will soften up and make driving a dream. (I know because this is the same lift/shock combo I had on my last Jeep).

Day 2 of driving impressions. Went down some maintained and not maintained gravel roads, lots of washboards, it was smooth and better than driving down a paved road. I then hit a section of interstate that would give me poor ride and a stretches of white knuckle driving. I was soo much more in control and could still drive with one hand on the wheel. I will say that my combo of MC lift and falcon shocks are a little stiff at the moment. My last lift of this combo did the same thing... I’ll let you guys know when wheeling season gets going how it softens up.

I frikin love this lift.

Looking good. Thinking about the 2.5 and some sorta spacer out back.

Out of curiosity, did you use those fancy lower shock mounts that rotate them around so the lower shock joints flex better? Can't tell from the photos.

Thank you... if your thinking 2.5”, get ahold of MC and see if they have an eta yet for the rear springs.

You mean the front shock relocation brackets??? If yes... yes I did... they help get the shock away from the frame when flexing.

After my front replacement springs came in, everything is good. The rear is currently on stock springs with spacers from Rough Country. Before the Metalcloak lift, I had 3.5 RC lift that dealer had on it already. Not sure if I will change springs yet. Still have RC shocks, but will be upgrading in the future. So far so good.

Retorqued the jam nuts on all control arms and trackbars. No contact at full turn up front. I will need longer legs or some steps.

love it

love it

Ditto, that's a sexy gator.

Got my ride out and stretched her legs today. Love the flex

Hey y'all. Here a few more flexy pics from the last two weekends.

Got the 3.5 gamechanger installed. Stayed with the 17x9 4.25 BS steelies on 35s Dick Cepeks Fun Country. I will be adding the Rampage steps to the rock rails in the next few days, using nutserts so I can remove the steps when I hit the trails to maintain a decent clearance. I was able to sell the other set of 35s with the Pro Comp wheels for 950.

Is it the driveway or does that have a bit of the "Carolina Squat" in the rear?

More fun today. Comparing it to a stock suspension sport JT on 37"s. I don't think it' really got 3.5" of lift from the springs. More like 1-2...
