IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BUSHINGS

The Patented Duroflex™ Joint (metalcloakpatents.com) is the key to getting the greatest flex in a bolt-on suspension kit. Period.

MetalCloak has taken the best features of the most widely used control arm joints and combined those features to create the Duroflex Joint, producing a Low-Maintenance High-Misalignment (34˚), Self-Centering, Rebuildable Joint with an OEM quality ride.

Now with Kevlar!

DuPont™ Kevlar® Fiber is now compounded in the proprietary elastomer of the Duroflex Bushing, bringing even more strength, durability and performance.

Kevlar® is a synthetic fiber with extremely high tensile strength to weight ratio…five times stronger than steel and commonly used in bullet proof armor applications.

Duroflex Bushings w/Kevlar® can be identified by the MetalCloak “M” located on the outer surface.

Control Arm Duroflex Joint Alignment...

At MetalCloak we take the care to build every product right.

Most manufacturers build their control arms misaligned from center. Why? It simply costs less to do so.

By not cutting any corners, our joints are Centered and Aligned reducing wear and improving performance.

It makes them easier to install, too!

Lower Front 4-Link Long Arms

The Lower Front Control Arms are precision engineered for our 4-link front suspension. Mounted using a bolt-on bracket, the control arms are designed for lift heights of 4.5 and up, provide amazing flex, the best pinion angle control for taller lifts, and still give incredible handling and the smoothest ride on or off road.

Upper Front 4-Link Long Arms

The Upper Front Control Arms are installed using a welded-on bracket for precise geometry.

Equipped with the Duroflex™ joints at the frame-end, the arms use the stock bushings or the MetaCloak Bushing Upgrade kit (not included) at the axle end.

Threaded Forged Ends

Forged for Strength...

The adjustable threaded ends are Forged providing a 37% higher fatigue strength over inferior cast parts, this EXTRA rock bashing strength will hold up to whatever you throw at em.

Degrees of Articulation

MetalCloak's Duroflex Joint provides 28˚ more articulation and flex than typical control arms! (Learn More About Duroflex Control Arms)

What are True Dual Rate Coils?

MetalCloak JK Wrangler True Dual Rate™ Coils have one of the longest free length in the industry for greater articulation without sacrificing the OEM ride quality.

Without the advantage of the Dual Rate Design, the required Spring Rate would be too low and "squishy" -- just loading your Jeep up with supplies would affect ride height and quality.

Coil Isolators

MetalCloak Thermoset Elastomer Coil Isolator upgrade pads are designed to last and outperform factory parts. The pads are made specifically for MetalCloak True Dual Rate Coils and are model specific.

Not just any track bar bushing...meet the Patented Durotrak

The Patented Durotrak ™ Bushing (metalcloakpatents.com) is a NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) bushing made with a proprietary elastomer compound unique to MetalCloak. The Durotrak™ two part bushing is comprised of two pieces that thread together making this bushing simple to install without a press, reduces vibration and harshness transferred to the driver, and improves vehicle steering input.

Solid Chromoly front track bar keeps you... well.. on track

ormed for ultimate Up-Travel & Down-Travel the JK Wrangler Front Track Bar gives unprecedented strength, clearance, and improved ride stability.

JK Wrangler Durotrak rear track bar - A first in Hi-Clearance!

The Solid Chromoly track bar is uniquely designed to clear on up-travel as well as downtravel. No other track bar is designed with up-travel in mind.

Rear Bolt on bracket is a key component

The rear relocation and clearance track bar bracket provides what it takes to allow the track bar to keep your axle centered properly under your Jeep.

Lower Rear Long Arm Brackets

This system requires cutting off the factory rear control arm brackets and is for the Rock Crawler that demands precision when it comes to wheelbase and pinon angles. The Rear Long Arm System comes with Rear "BOLT-ON" control arm brackets that are formed of 1/4" Steel Plate and angled to slide over obstacles with out catching.

Drag Link With Greaseable 1-Ton Ends

High misalignment rod ends, double adjustable, 1.375 OD, .375 wall DOM, and clears aftermarket diff covers.

Dog Leg Tie Rod Ends

Boot Sealed - Keeps grease in and dirt out

Anti Flop Feature - Precision range of movement

Massive 1-Ton Rod Ends - Provides additional strength

JK Specific OE Bolt Taper - Secure mount

Anti Flop Feature

This specially designed rod end has been engineered just for the JK Wrangler steering.

Full side to side range of motion ensures bind free steering when pushing the extremes of your Jeeps travel and articulation, while a limited "front to back" range of movement is built into the rod-end and eliminates the possibility of the offset to allow the rod end to "flop".

Track Bar and Stabilizer Relocation Bracket

Bracket raises the track bar to re-correct steering geometry when lifting over 3.5 inches; this is to be used in conjunction with the flipped Drag-link hi-steer set up ONLY when lifting a Jeep JK over 3.5 inches. The bracket also incorporates a raised mount for the steering stabilizer providing additional clearance!

Rear Coil Alignment Retainers

Corrects the alignment for your rear coils and keep them from bowing during compression and interfering with other components.

This system also features a retainer feature that ensures that your coil spring stays seated in the coil bucket when at the extremes of articulation and prevents rattling in the coil bucket.

Stop The Guess Work. Bump It Up!

MetalCloak Adjustable Bump Stop System...

Adjust from 1" - 4" Without Removing Coils
Perfect Height Regardless of Tire Size
Thermoset Elastomer Dampens Impact
Additional Pads Available on Request

Rear Adjustable Bump Stops!

Manufactured from trail-proven natural thermoset elastomer, each puck is designed to work universally with your JK Wrangler.

JK Wrangler Replacement Brake Lines, 24.5"

From the Teflon Inner Core, to the Stainless Steel Braid and Poly Safety Coat, the MetalCloak replacement Brake Lines are the best available on the market today.

Longer than typical brake lines of similar lift heights because of our additional clearance and travel.

The RockSport RED Shock

It’s not just a shock, it is a piece in a tuned system. This is not a typical bolt on shock. RockSport RED shocks are valved and specifically tuned to work with MetalCloak True Dual-Rate Coils.

MetalCloak has refined the RockSport RED Shocks compression and dampening to provide stable, yet compliant manners for daily driving and also in situations where Long Travel articulation is needed to keep the tires planted on the ground.

RockSport RED Front Shock Length:

Extended Length: 28.5"
Collapsed Length: 17.1"

RockSport RED Rear Shock Length:

Extended Length: 28.0"
Collapsed Length: 16.8"
