Post EVO Double ThrowDown vs. MetalCloak 6Pak

I'm having hard time trying to decide on what system to use and I would like to know you guys opinion on this. Anyone have any experience (maintenance, ride comfort and performance) using both or one of the other? Please post your thoughts on this.

Thanks

From my original response to your question in another thread:

Apples compared to marinated steak tips.
You need to ask yourself what your intensions are with your jeep before you settle on a kit

Good Advice, your not really comparing Apples to Apples. The Cantilever gives 14" of usable wheel travel, while also giving an outstanding ride on the pavement.

Performance? We race King of the Hammers with our double throw down system. The currie johnny Joints will need maintenance on oil changes (grease into the fittings).
