They put them up recently. Same springs but with drop brackets instead of control arms. Those kits are also missing shocks. Some have shock extensions, some don't.

I'm curious, too. I recently discovered these kits, and I'm very curious. I don't want to change out the control arms right away, and it seems like everything Metalcloak makes has a reputation for great quality.

Anyone else running one of these kits?

Not Metalcloak but AEV drop brackets and Synergy springs with stock control arms...same concept and slightly softer springs that MC. Rides great, as I bet these Metalcloak ones will!

The kit should compete against the AEV, except it takes care of the shortcomings that the AEV kit has. For example, it comes with real sway bar links and an adjustable rear track bar with raised bracket. No doubt that the geo brackets are a little better designed as well.

Yeah I would love to hear someone's input that has it. Really looking hard at it for my new 2015. I had the AEV one on my 2011 and it was a great lift that I really never had any issues with but I'm looking at trying something new. It's my daily driver so on road manners matter to me.

I wish metal cloak would give us a shock option with these lifts. This is what is holding me back from ordering. I bet if I called they could add them.
