Default Lifts

I dont think you can go wrong with any of those three. I run a lift comprised mostly of synergy components at 2.5" and its great, very high quality, and excellent customer service. I also have a few Metalcloak products, and the same goes for them. Don't worry about warranty, if something goes wrong and its on them, they'll make it right. I would try to sway you towards a 2.5" though, especially if you only want 35"s right now. Here is how mine sits on the 2.5" with 37" tires.

OK, I've talked to Matson at Metalcloak and He answered all of my question. So I'm going for the 3.5" ARB lift with 35" tires, then when i can upgrade axles and gears going up to 37's. No just have to save some money( alost halfway there). can't wait to post pictures.

Looking back on things I would have gotten lockers before I even did suspension. Lockers can get you out of a jam with low clearance you just have to have a good spotter and a good line. But yes I know there is no substitute for ground clearance. But lockers are my most useful mod in my opinion.

Lockers are definitely the absolute best mod you can do. I run a cheap set of Aussies front/rear. I'm pissed i didn't do it sooner.

If you have any questions regarding our products please let us know, we are here to help.

All of our newer joints can be serviced directly in the vehicle making your life easier!

Some joints must be taken apart every year to be serviced which means you have to take your Jeep apart to service them.

Good luck with your builds.

So I have a pretty clumsy situation I did. I believe I mounted my shocks upside down. Is there a functional difference in this???

Look at the mount points, can they actually be bolted on in both directions? Guessing you will find that they cannot. Some mfg's design them to mount in different orientations for whatever reason.

sorry but I should have clarified in my last reply. But it's my back shocks to be exact that I believe that I mounted upside down. I'll post a picture
