Ok MC = metal cloak. Not MK lol. Heard nothing but great things about them. Will say I run RK and their stuff is also quality and I like their arms and joints.

 

Whatever. You know what i meant.

 

I am considering running mc joints on my RK arms though if they will fit.

 

I would verify how deep the threads the are on Rock Krawler arms as the Metal Cloak has a much longer threaded shaft and may not be able to go short enough to use.

 

I don't know why the AEV kit would be any harder on bushings. In fact if you want flex I wouldn't go with AEV. I started with their kit but now I only run their springs and AEV tuned Bilstein 5100s. I have full Metalcloak arms as well. The AEV setup won't flex out of the box as well as others. It does fine, but I can flex it out all day long and not worry about my stock front driveshaft even with the MC arms. It's limited by the shocks as far as droop goes. That's why I say it won't flex as much. The Metalcloak arms are great and if I did it again I'd probably just do their 2.5 kit.

 

The "flex" you get out of the box would depend on the shocks you got...

 

Yeah that's what I'm saying. The AEV comes with 5100 shocks that limit the flex so you don't even have to run an exhaust spacer.

 

My metal cloaks are holding up great.
