What are some pros and cons to each Game Changer models (lite vs normal) 3.5" I can't make up my mind with how good those 6-pak shocks look, but at the same time..do I really even need them? My jeep is used 30% highway 50% on road and 20% offroad. I want a smooth on road ride as well as highway speeds, but I always want top notch performance when exploring. I won't be rock crawling too often so will I even need the more expensive kit including the 6-pak shocks?[

 

You would be more than happy with the GC lite. The ome shocks are valved very closely to the 6 PAC shocks.

 

I have the GC lite. I'm still waiting on the shocks, they will be in here in a couple days but I did install the lift. The ride is great. Drives like stock but the ride is better. The online instruction for the control arm lengths were right on for the the front to provide the proper castor, the rear needed tweaked a bit to get the proper pinion angle. They advertise 28 degrees more flex than their competitors and keeping the CG lower. I haven't flexed mine yet due to the backordered shock but I'll be able to soon. Met with a couple other JK owners today for breakfast. One had a EVO 4.0 Double throw down and the other had a RockKrawler 3.5 X factor, both sat taller than the 3.5 Metalcloak. I'm running 35's and they both had 37's but it was more than the difference in tires. So I guess if your looking for 68* of flex and a lower CG the Metalcloak might be for you. If your looking for maximum lift height then you might want to consider something different. I'd like to hit a RTI ramp to check out the difference in the 3 setups, that will speak the truth on our different choices.

 

Word brotha, I'm with you on flex. Thanks for the info

 

New guy here, but would like to contribute to the thread. I have the 3.5" GC Lite with the OME nitrogen charged shocks and the ride is fantastic. Haven't had it off road yet. Don't want to go solo and run into problems

 

I will let you know next Thursday. My MC GC 3.5 and 6 pax are going on Wednesday.

I'm looking at the GC 3.5.. I have a tendency to high center (only running 35s and a leveling kit) so I'm thinking i want a higher center of gravity but would like to see some real world examples.

 

It took me about 15 hours to install the lift by myself. I started on a Friday night and was test driving it Sunday. Getting it done in one day will be pushing it.

 

I'm not doing my own lift this time. Paying a shop.

 

Love this lift..You will not regret getting the 6-pack shocks!
