Whitehorse. Shipping is brutal up here. IF I can get things USPS then it's not 'too bad', but a lot of companies in the US will only ship with UPS, which can cost 2x as much.

That's insane lol. If I were to get a lift this would be it... I just can't justify 4k for only wheeling 2-3 times a year. But I love your rig man!

Shipping to a military address overseas is even more ridiculous the only thing i can use is USPS and it has to be under 70lbs. Forget about shipping anything UPS or Fedex. Another reason i love metalcloak they went out of there way to get all items shipped here!

After re-centering the steering wheel, drives pretty well. I only say pretty well because it needs an alignment. As far as comfort compared to stock - tough to say as I've only driven it a couple of miles. What it feels so far is slightly firmer than stock, but not harsh. I'm at 33lbs per tire too, so some adjustments there probably as well.

*drove about 25 miles today and rides good. I think I need to adjust my tire pressure via the chalk test, but as noted before slightly stiffer than stock, but not harsh at all. Very happy so far.

Default Metalcloak Wrangler duraflex 3.5

Ordered my kit about a week ago, being from Alberta Canada, I expect delivery will take about a month, fingers crossed. Looks awesome and can't wait to replace the rough country kit previously installed before I purchased my JKU. Any advice for me on the install?

Yeah. Check and make sure all the retaining rings on the joints are seated. I had one come loose right after install. Other than that, just like installing any other lift kit.
