The 6Pak BLACK 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™ BLACK 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™ BLACK maximizes suspension articulation while preserving up-travel. Precision tuned valving balances daily driving comfort with confident control on technical trails.

The MetalCloak Upper 6Pak BLACK bar pin eliminator brackets are a bolt on 3/16" hot rolled steel plate system that is laser cut and then CAD formed for perfect fitment. These brackets are specifically engineered for 6Pak BLACK shocks but may be used to eliminate the problematic bar pins for other applications and is finished in gold zinc.

The 3/16" hot rolled steel plate rear lower shock brackets replace the weak factory brackets and provide the needed room to maximize the performance when using travel of long travel shocks, including our revolutionary 6Pak BLACK Shocks. Add strength and shock clearance to the vulnerable area on the rear of your Jeep with this bracket kit.

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: Factory brackets must be cut off to install the new brackets; weld on only.

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

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS
Would this work for Jeep YJ?
They would not be a direct bolt up and are not valved for leaf springs. We have, however, used them on a YJ that has our TJ long arm kit grafted to it.
I need to send my 6 pack shocks in for rebuild, is there a form to request?
To get a 6Pak rebuild started it is best to give us a call at 916-631-8071. We can go over the details and get the order going for you.
