Slowly replacing my old lift with Metalcloak. So far, I have the 2.5 inch springs, control arms, bump stops and front track bar with 37s and flat fenders.

Who do I need to talk to in the greater Houston area to get a good price on a Metalcloak lift?

From what I've seen, go directly to MC. Unless your looking for someone to install. I'm sure a few fellow jeepers in that area would be willing to lend a hand. There instructions ate pretty complete. If you go with the 3.5 inch kit, control arms and track bars come already set to the correct length for a JK.

Yeah, you can call Matson directly at Metalcloak and he'll take care of you. My brother has the flares front and rear for a TJ as well as the frame built bumper. I'm trying to get him to do the rails too.

About to pull the trigger on a mc game changer lite 2.5. I emailed Metal Cloak a week ago with no response yet. Will try to follow up with a phone call.
My questions:
1. Should I consider hydraulic bump stops and what kind. I assume it is eAsliest to do them at install rather then later.

2. I tow a camper and right now it sags quite a bit. Is there a fix such as air bags and would it work with Metal Cloak

Airbags will work with any spring but might limit full compression off-roading. Do you know what your tongue weight is? It should be 10-15% of trailer and no greater than 350#. Your best bet might be a weight distributing hitch.

Installed the front bumper base Saturday morning. Very nice as it is all one part. Take about a hour to get it out of the box and on the jeep with the winch. I had 6 bolts and 4 nuts left over. Could not find any more mounting holes.

Very nice! What configuration is the bumper? Which end caps, etc? I'm thinking of ordering one from them.

Right now it just the center, light bar and 0 off set winch. But going with 60in light caps and full stinger.
