Metalcloak RockSport Blacks - Adjustable Reservoir Shocks - Now Available

[Metalcloak]

After much wait and anticipation, the Metalcloak RockSport Blacks are live for the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator...

Check out this unboxing video for a quick look at the actual shock...

​

These shocks are truly an incredible focus of engineering.

From a continuous 8 position selector where you can easily grip it and actually feel the change, to a unique valve shim system, to a hard coat anodized (inside and out) 2.5" aluminum body, to an oversized 7/8" induction hardened chrome steel shaft... every element of this design has been thought through and through.

Features Include:

• MilSpec HARD Anodized Black Finish Inside and Out
• Easy Setting Compression Adjustment
• Ports Designed for Precision Flow
• 2½” Diameter Aluminum Body
• Heavy Duty 3/16" Wall Thickness
• Oversized for Maximum Cooling
• Rubber Covered Stainless Steel Braided Hydraulic Hose
• Built in Stand Offs for OE Quality Fitment
• Huge Oversized 7/8" Induction Hardened Chrome Shafts
• HARD Anodized Shock Piston
• HARD Black Anodized Billet Shock Clamps
• Fronts Sets Come Complete with Outboard Mounts & Reservoir Mounting Brackets

And the best part?

They are manufactured right here at our World HQ in Rancho Cordova, California, just 90 minutes from the famous Rubicon Trail where we do all our testing.

Someone said you're working on a Mojave version?
Will the current models adapt to Mojave with something like these?

Also curious about rebuildable- and are they rebuildable outside of having to send them back to MC to be done? “Standard” ish rebuild frequency? 20-40k miles depending upon use?

I'm planning on calling them tomorrow ill post their answers. Try to find out when Mojave version will be available. I know the Sixpack shocks are supposedly easily rebuildable.We'll see on these.

Ok called this morning and talked to Will. I gotta say super helpful as always if anyone ever has a question don't hesitate to call. Now they are working on a Mojave version and are planning on having a Mojave on site in the next day or so to get all measurements ETC no idea of time frame for finished product. These are standard 2.5 inch shocks and are fully rebuildable by any shop that does that sort of thing. I forgot to ask about longevity between rebuilds but as everyone uses their vehicles differently I'd I imagine that's a impossible question to answer anyway. Rebuild kits will be available soon BTW. Oh and I asked about the special brackets they come with they re still needed on the metalcloak lifts.

Thanks @Scott L having the ability to be rebuildable is a big sell point for me . Appreciate you calling .

Seems like a winner for when I replace my falcon 3.1s

These fall under our Lifetime Customer Service policy... meaning we will always find a way to take care of you... officially... there is a one year written warranty on the manufacture of the product, meaning any defect or problem should be found within that period... we will fix or replace at our cost, no problem.

Yes, they are FULLY rebuildable, and, unlike our Rebuildable 6Paks, do not need to be done by us here at MC World HQ, but can be done by anyone familiar with the rebuilding of performance shocks. We are working on rebuild kits and rebuild programs.

Rebuild kits would be fantastic .

Thank you for helping the group by sharing the info!

I am confident these are fantastic, but as a 15 year Army Veteran anything described as "military grade" makes me not want to buy it.

"Military grade" sounds fantastic to civilians, its horrifying to Veterans. The majority of military equipment is made by the lowest bidder; filled with cut corners and usually has very poor customer support from the company that makes it. The best military gear is the gear the military buys off the shelf from the civilian market.

@Metalcloak

With the offset lower front shock mounts, are you advising a certain backspacing on wheels?

Think 1980's (Reagan Era) Military Grade, LOL, when winning mattered. Of course, you are talking Army... all the real money goes to the Fleet - Go Navy! - Matson (12 year Navy Vet)

True for us Military folks, but we have to transition to the current market analysis. If the word/s Military Grade/Spec, USGI or Tactical are included in the product description, the manufacturer can add another 15% to their Gross Profit.

BTW, not knocking MC. It is what it is, adjust to your market.
