Metalcloak lift on 2 door JK

Weezul · Jan 18, 2021

Recently helped a friend install a Metalcloak 3.5" Gamechanger with the short arms with Rocksport shocks. Arms are adjusted to Metalcloak specs. Was on a trip to Hot Springs and on climbs the front end unloads and picks a tire. Tried to keep crawling and it just kept picking it up even higher and would get very unstable. It did this before and after the Antirock install too. With the budget 2.5" lift it wouldn't do this on the same climb. Anyone else had this issue with this?

Sounds like every short arm lifted Jeep ever.

The 4 doors could get away with short arm lifts because of the long wheel base. The **** geometry just makes the ass end hop instead of lifting the front.

Solutions-
Long arm the rear
Stretch + long arm the rear
Lower it
Nut up and "Just drive it" through the tippy tire lifting places, no crawling. *may result in unintended upside downs*
