Anybody else noticed they tightened up all the link arms before putting the weight of the vehicle

On the Metalcloak lift Jeep it all depends on what setting the Falcon shocks are on. On setting 1 then you will feel the body roll, put them on 2-5 or 2-8 or even 3 and then try it.

@@Marie-kj3xf We love our set up. It’s my daily driver, and we have taken it thru a half dozen moderate Georgia trails. I did add sway bar links disconnects from Teraflex which greatly improved the trail handling experience on my Sahara 4xe. On highways or sharp curves with rolling hills the suspension handles like a dream.

Theres tons of variables here. Weight, shocks, springs. Metalcloak has springs that have dual rates, which is why theyre more bunched, but when at max articulation they're better than a fixed rate spring.

Agreed , Pops jeep has a better shock on it in my opinion so if he can adjust em to be firmer it would most likely be about the same . I can honestly say tho , Clayton's components are a bigger stronger product . If you go back to the install part of the video you will see just one instance of it.

Had metal cloak game changer lift. Changed my control arms to terraflex IR. I like the terraflex more. And the metal cloak ends were worn out on two control arms. Had that metal cloak lift on for a year and a half.

I’ve got a JLUR on true 37s with the off-road+ 2.5” and the bump stops prevent me from rubbing. I’ve got about 2” still before I rub. Im considering pulling the Clayton bump stops and using something else to get a little more out of the Jeep. Did you use what Clayton provided or something different?
