Metalcloak control arm drop brackets (Pro'lignment Kit)
Since I'm running 5" of lift, I figured I'd reduce my front control arm angle to improve on-road feel. I felt the Metalcloak drop bracket offering is solid and I'm happy with the result. Asphalt potholes are much more forgiving...
The total extended rear shock length eye to eye is 25.75”, so take 3.5” off that to get 22.25” at ride height. I didn’t measure the bypass zones on the test bench for the rear but the 7 7/8” of travel is the same as the front. I’d guess the ride zone is a little longer than the fronts, so 21.5”...
To add more to my original thread post:
Sometimes springs sag over time and accessories (steel bumper, winch, a bunch of ducks) can cause them to ride lower, effectively shortening the ride height length of the shock.
My OG post is describing the bypass zones of the shock. Jeep engineered...
I added an ARB air locker to the front of my Mojave and it works great. I think this is the ideal solution for rock crawling when one tire can't get as much grip as the other. In these low-speed scenarios, an LSD in the front likely wouldn't actuate as well as desired and therefore wouldn't give...
Mojave is about 2" higher in the front than a Sport from the factory and 1" higher than a Rubicon. From the factory it's not going to accommodate bigger than a 35" without rubbing. It's expected that 37s rub without an aftermarket lift. You could try to trim out your fender liners to avoid...
My hitch slider scraped several times, and I scraped the bottom of my back bumper corner a couple times. Nothing severe and I’d guess you’d have the same experience.
My OEM front driveshaft boot would rub on the exhaust crossover while flexed out because of the thick diameter of the shaft, so I...
I did not measure, I just bought the one they make for the JT Rubicon that has the OEM-style flange, so I did not have to replace the flange coming out of the pinion, it just bolts right up. They have 3 JT variations - Sport, Overland, and Rubicon. I bought it from one of the big suppliers, but...
Thank you! Yours looks awesome too. I actually have some drop brackets for Christmas - I still have the stock JTM Fox shocks and it feels bumpy, but I feel pretty confident the drop brackets will help me too. I'll of course post back after I get them installed.
Looks awesome. Love those wheels with the white truck! I also have a Fox ATS adjustable stabilizer.
It might not be the shocks - the 2.5 DSC's are great shocks and are known for not being too firm. The COR 3.5 lift is tall enough (at 4-4.5" actual front lift over stock) that it creates a steep...
