The 6Pak Floating Shock Body Technology provides a game-changing platform featuring parallel shafts extending from [click for more...] the 6 tube floating body. The shock is centralized with dual opposed, nitrogen charged reservoirs that give additional cooling capacity along with up to 15 inches of travel.

The 6Pak™ features a robust 5/8” shaft designed for strength and stability under extreme use. This larger shaft size resists bending and flexing, ensuring consistent performance no matter how hard you push your suspension.

Each shaft has Gold Titanium Nitride coating providing a slick, low-friction surface that resists wear, reduces constriction, and extends the life of the shock. The precision machined billet rod ends are completely rebuildable, giving you the ability to service your shocks and keep them performing. The billet cap ends add a refined, finished look while maintaining the strength and integrity of the shock assembly.

The engineered main seal material increases durability and longevity, standing up to the elements and heavy use for reliable performance. Combined with its patented design, which delivers more travel in a shorter package, the 6Pak™ maximizes suspension articulation while preserving up-travel. Precision tuned valving balances daily driving comfort with confident control on technical trails.

The upper shock mount brackets are constructed from heavy duty 3/16” steel and mounts directly in the factory locations for a true bolt-on installation. The design also accommodates a 15" shock, delivering increased travel capability and improved off-road control without requiring major modifications. The shock mounts comes with lower shock mounting spacers to ensure proper alignment and secure positioning. A durable gold zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance and lasting protection against harsh trail environments.

Made in the USA signifies MetalCloak’s commitment to quality and precision manufacturing. Each component is designed, tested, and produced with attention to performance and fitment standards demanded by off-road enthusiasts.

Note: 6Pak Shocks are not shipped outside of North America. If you are outside of the USA or Canada and order 6Pak shocks or any kit with 6Pak shocks, you are waiving the rights to the lifetime customer service and manufacturer’s warranty.

Note: We recommend you have a suspension specialist align your Jeep once a MetalCloak suspension is installed.
