RK 2.5" Flex or Metalcloak 2.5" dual rate ARB edition
Okay so these are the last two kits I'm deciding between. My jeep is a daily driver but hits some mild and moderate trails here and there but nothing extreme. I know both are great kits but can't choose without getting some real life comparisons. I'm leaning heavily towards Metalcloak though. Thanks guys. Any questions just as. 2009 2DR Sport

Throw up a poll and go with the winner.
Or, since all the people who have Rk will vote RK, and all the people with MC will vote MC - just flip a coin.
But I vote MC, since that is what I have...

I mean for the extra money is MC really worth it? If so then ill spend the extra cash. Anyone have ride height comparisons between the two? Id like to avoid DS issues as long as possible. Thanks

The rk 2.5 springs I was running couldn't handle the weight of a steel bumper with swing out and a jerry can. Had about an inch off the bump stops. Upgraded to ome heavy springs and now have about 3 inches of space on springs that should have provided the same lift. If you plan to wheel with any sort of load I suggest the ome's. Fully loaded for a week in moab with averaging 7-9 hours of seat time a day that far off the bump stops with the rk springs got old real quick.

I run a mixed RK & MC kit as well. It started all RK however their springs dont even compare to MC springs in free length & ride quality. RK makes great arms (not always the right length) and great joints and they can be had at a great price. If I could start over I would run RK Arms & TB's with MC Springs & MC's BDS tuned Fox Shocks.
