Default MetalCloak Game Changer 6Pak

Hey everyone, I have a 2013 2 door Rubicon. It's getting some major mods starting with a new suspension system shortly. I was pretty much set on RK until I started looking into the MetalCloak Game Changer. I would like people's experience with the kit as I haven't found a ton of feed back on it.

Thanks!

I like mine. You won't find many running the full game changer. There are only a few of us.

I've installed mine, but have yet to drive it. With the Overline fenders, my 35s look silly (but going 37s).

Keep in mind that the 6Pak shocks gain up travel. If you're not running the MetalCloak Overline fenders, you basically lose the additional travel over the Game Changer Lite.

If you are looking at the game changer with the 6pak shocks, thats about $4500. Nothing wrong with that it's a awesome kit and heard nothing but good reviews but it's still a short arm kit. For that much money I would go with a long arm kit . Theres a bunch of info on long vs short arm threads and youtube vids out explaining the two.
Thats sometime I will do soon. I now have the 3.5 RK short arm, works good on and offroad but the rubber bushing are starting to wear. I have about 30k on the kit , so next kit I get will have jonny joints on both ends.

Those fenders are awesome. I've been stuck on the smittybilt xrc corner armors but those look great.

The cost of the kit is definitely up there but it's something I will be comfortable installing, the extra costs of labor on a long arm setup quickly inflates the prices of kits here in Canada lol.

The kits only $4k and ships free from NR 4x4. Might even. Qualify for the 10%.
