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.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BUSHINGS

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!

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

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.

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

Not just any track bar bushing

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.

Rear Bolt on bracket is a key component

Lower Rear Long Arm Brackets

Anti Flop Feature

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!
