I ordered the version with the Black Max shocks. They are decent travel at 12.5" up front and 11.75" in the rear. I don't plan on keeping this kit forever, but happy with the ride quality so far.

I have 41" Irok Radials sitting in the shop that will go on when my wheels get finished
you ever get those wheels installed? like to see a couple pics.

Metalcloak’s Facebook page indicates that they will be there, and parts will be available to order...

Lifts are available to order for the JT. I have never seen so many lifted Gladiators in one place as this show, almost all had 40 inch tires. Lots of JT porn.

Chris, can you share what you did with the front fender, looks clean.
The front fenders are two piece. By separating the bottom half and trimming off some tabs you gain a good amount of clearance for bigger tires.

Once the lower portion is removed then uppers are kinda floppy, so I used a Quake fender brace/DRL kit to reinforce them and retain my blinkers.
You lose the inner fenders, but @JcrOffroad makes some nice replacements for the front/rear.

Let’s see some pictures!!!
I spent so much time talking and going from vendor to vendor i honestly did not think about pictures as i was focused on getting information as i had a list of questions. I was there from 9am to 5pm, i`m thinking about going back tomorrow, i should be more relaxed and i`ll take time for photos.

Maybe some members here took some photos as the Gladiators drew a lot of attention.

They handed me a booklet and said that i could order at the show or online when i got home.

ICON had 20% off if you order before midnight Sunday night, most vendors were offering some sort of show discount.

I did not go back to the show today. The Metal Cloak JT lift is much like the JL lift up front the big difference being the rear dual rate springs. Rock Krawler had a 4 Link system at the rear of their new JT lift unfortunately the person i was talking to did not seem to know much about it just saying that the ride was great. Terraflex did not have anything yet for the JT saying that they needed more time and were not happy yet with what they had in R&D.

I did manage to score some Rock Slide steps at a great price.

It was very difficult to get any information one on one at any of the JT displays as there were crowds at most of them, the JT displays seemed to garner the most interest and my time there went quick.

Awfully quiet on the AEV front considering they supported both JL and RAM 1500 you would think they would have had a jump start on this game. Wishing there was a parallel to the AEV DualSport I have on my JK.

I wonder if anyone else is going to release something to compete with Mopar 2" height, or others are going to enter at 3 1/2"? I would have to think the market to run 40's and up on such a big lift is much smaller than the market for 35 - 37" tire capabilities. A high-quality tuned 2 - 2.5" lift would go a long way on the Gladiator. Its all Mopar right now.
