RockSport BLACK, 4.5"/5.5" JL Wrangler Reservoir Shocks, Rear, Pair
RockSport Black Reservoir Shocks are custom engineered, meticulously designed and precision manufactured in-house here at MetalCloak.
Features Include:- Designed for the JL Wrangler
- Mil-Spec Type III HARD Anodized Black Infinity Finish
- 2½” Diameter Aluminum Body
- Heavy Duty 3/16" Wall Thickness
- Oversized for Maximum Cooling
- Rubber Covered Stainless Steel Braided Hydraulic Hose
- Huge Oversized 7/8" Shafts
- Shafts have Induction Hardened Surface
- Shafts are Hard Chrome Plated
- Mil-Spec Type III Clear HARD Anodized Shock Piston
- Parabolic Valve Stack (multiple patents pending)
- Easy Installation
Shocks are made with 2.5 diameter, 3/16 thick wall aluminum with a huge interior for fluid to ensure they stay cool and hold up to on and off-road abuse.
The Remote reservoir connects to the shock with a 3000psi high working pressure, stainless-steel braided, synthetic lined reservoir hose, with optimized flow orifices to allow unhindered shock oil flow.
Unique valve stack with parabolic shim-form (multiple patents pending) provides a compact and simplified valve assembly that eliminates shim stack problems of conventional methods, allowing for our exacting target numbers to be achieved.
Our completed package allows for maximum shaft length to be utilized and provides more travel than any similar size Monotube shock; even the internals of the end caps are machined out for additional travel.
Functional Type III Mil-Spec clear HARD anodized process is used on the shock piston to keep the assembly from wearing down from the high velocity fluid transfer, ensuring a long lasting service life.
Oversized 7/8" hard chrome plated shafts, induction hardened to Rockwell C 60+, exceeding most competitors in durability and can take a beating over and over providing the BEST protection from rock debris; this allows a consistently smooth surface for seals and wiper to ride on.
A triple seal pack keeps shock oil in and contaminants out. Removable Bump Cap protects the seal assembly from full compression damage and provides access for servicing the shock.
Note: RockSport Black Shocks are LARGE BODIED 2.5 diameter long-travel shocks. These are a Direct fitment for wide track axle Jeeps like Rubicon and Max tow. All 2.5 in diameter shocks will require additional modification for “proper” fitment if used on standard-width axle models; additional bump stops, low back spaced wheels, brake caliper clearance, etc. If you are unsure of fitment or what axle you have please give us a call.

MetalCloak's Jeep Suspension
FMVSS 126 Compliant
MetalCloak not only has the best off road flex, but we are also Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 certified and compliant. No other company can match our on- and off-road performance.
What is Corner Travel Index?
Since 2014 MetalCloak has tested thousands and thousands of rigs at events all across the county collecting specs on the build and cataloging the results. The data collected allows us to make our own products better.
THE TECH
RockSport Black Rear Reservoir Shocks
Reservoir Shocks
The RockSport Remote Reservoir Black shocks are specifically made to work with MetalCloak True Dual-Rate Coils; the Digressive valving provide the best of slow and fast speed performance.
Shocks are made with 2.5 diameter, 3/16 thick wall aluminum with a huge interior for fluid to ensure they stay cool and hold up to on and off-road abuse.
RockSport Shock Length:- Extended Length: 30.5"
- Collapsed Length: 18.2"
Outboard Stand Off Mounts
Shock attaches with built-in off set mounts that allow for long travel capabilities with the convenience of an OE like fitment.
Braided Hydraulic Hose
The Remote reservoir connects to the shock with a 3000psi high working pressure, stainless-steel braided, synthetic lined reservoir hose, with optimized flow orifices to allow unhindered shock oil flow.
RockSport Black Parabolic Valving
Parabolic Valving
Parabolic valving (multiple patents pending) provide precision fluid flow in a minimal sized piston stack. Machined parabolic forms contour the butterfly valve shims when under fluid pressure; the shape is contoured to allow variable resistance depending on force-loads allowing an extremely refined tune.
Piston Compression Ports
The smooth bore, multi-ported piston uses a total of 9 ports to produce an even force-load to the butterfly valve shims; 6 for compression and 3 for rebound that ensure longevity and optimal performance. The Shock Piston is finished with functional Type III Mil-Spec Clear HARD Anodize.
Inner Recessed Cap
Our completed package allows for maximum shaft length to be utilized and provides more travel than any similar size Monotube shock; even the internals of the end caps are machined out for additional travel. Removable Bump Cap protects the seal assembly from full compression damage and provides access for servicing the shock.
Oversized Chrome Shaft
Oversized 7/8" hard chrome plated shafts, induction hardened to Rockwell C 60+, exceeding most competitors in durability and can take a beating over and over providing the BEST protection from rock debris; this allows a consistently smooth surface for seals and wiper to ride on.
The RockSport Reservoir Shocks Specifications
Minimized valve stack with unique CNC shim-form provides a compact and simplified valve assembly that eliminates shim stack problems of conventional methods, allowing for our exacting target numbers to be achieved. The unique compressed shim setup allows for maximum shaft length to be utilized and provides more travel than similar size shocks.
