Just put in the Metal Cloak 3.5 inch coils last night. Here they are compared to the Rock Krawler 3.5 coils that I took out. The difference in size is just insane.

Fronts



And rears. Note that the Metal Cloak coils are longer that the Rock Krawler coils, despite the 1.75" space I had to use to correct the sag in the Rock Krawler coils


Ride quality of the Metal Cloak coils are just slightly softer with initial bumps. Cornering and control is substantially better. Also the new height of my JK is just about an inch taller than with the Rock Krawler coils.

 

Lets see some pics of the jeep!

 

Yes. Yes yes. Been waiting for someone to swap coils so they could illustrate the difference. See, those RK coils would have fallen out today when I did this:

 

^This! Very interested in the Jeep pic and stance.

 

I didn't take any pics because it was dark when I finished. Once I'm done with work, I'll take a few for sure

I did measure though. From the ground to the stock fenders (measured at the center line of the wheel) the front fenders are just under 41.25 inches from the ground and the rears are a little above 41.75 from the ground. It has a bit of a rake to it, but I like that considering it's an overlander and will usually have a heavy load in the rear.

 

They do keep the factory rake so anyone not wanting that should add a spacer to the front. Or just add the ace pro series rear and carrier, a 37 on a beadlock. That will take care of it.

 

Yeah I'm kind of amazed how far I had to drop the axle to get the MC coils in. Luckily the MC control arms let the axle drop an insane amount. If I still had stock control arms and brake lines, I probably would have had to remove them.

 

Delivered!! Time to buy some paint.

 

Whatcha painting?
