MetalCloak GC to 6.5 inch lift

[DrFalken]

I put the game changer on a few months ago and so far it is a great system. However, I think I want more clearance and was looking at something like the EVO 6.5 enforcer system. The question is how could I get to 6.5 using as much of the Game changer bits as possible, obviously I would need springs/shocks but looking at the lengths of the control arms from MK they seem close to the same length as the EVO's.

Has anyone gone bigger than 3.5 with the GC kit?

I have the GC lift but have no experience with putting in the taller springs.

I have seen on other forums for wranglers that people have done it but how high… I’m unsure… good luck

I had the Clayton 3.5" springs installed for a bit with all the MC other parts. The clayton springs are a little taller, not 6.5" but a little.

Check the Evo specs, and compare the arm lengths to what MC can get you. Page 3 of this provides the Evo lengths for what height lift. Just make sure MC can adjust to the same and I think you have a good start.

Also, the Evo full kit comes with Geo brackets. I would bet if you can keep the MC parts, you would also need Geo brackets at minimum.

I did compare the lengths the other day and they seemed pretty close. MC does make these https://metalcloak.com/jl-wrangler-hd-control-arm-pro-lignment-kit.html and says for up to 4.5, I may just do these anyways, seems like it would help on the ride.

You should give a call to MC. Their support staff is great.

I am currently running Evo 4.5" springs with MC control arms. I had to put the lower fronts out pretty much to max and add geo brackets to get my castor angle right and stop DW. They do work tho and ride great! That is a huge jump from the MC 3.5" to the Evo 6.5". The MC lift measures 3.5" of lift in the front and ~ 2" in the rear. My 4.5" Evo springs got 4.5" in the rear and 6" in the front. I am at the very edge of range with my stock drive shaft. You would need to replace the drive shaft with a 6.5".

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I think I would be ok with those heights. I did upgrade the front driveshaft with my gc lift, rear will get upgraded at some point too, probably when I move to upgraded axles.
