JK Wrangler Game-Changer Suspension 5.5" Bolt-On, Hi-Steer, 6Pak Edition

The JK Wrangler "Bolt-On 5.5" Game Changer Suspension Kit, 6Pak Shock Edition is the ONLY BOLT ON SYSTEM that allows for proper control arm geometry at this lift height. Front and Rear geometry correction brackets are only found at MetalCloak allowing you to get the lift height you want without cutting off the factory brackets or other costly modifications.

Now made with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber - the first suspension components manufactured with Kevlar® for industry leading durability.

Highlighted system features are:

Front and Rear Geometry Correction Brackets
Long Travel 6Pak Shocks
High-Misalignment Vibration Dampening Duroflex™ Control Arms
Front and Rear Durotrak™ Bushing equipped track bars
Rear Coil Alignment Retainers
True Dual Rate Coils
Hi-Steer Kit

Oh yeah, this system also out performs most long-arm kits in travel, articulation and flex with the smoothest and most predictable ride on or off-road at a fraction of the overall cost and modification.

Note: All 2012+ JK Wrangler will require exhaust spacers (7078) for clearance for the front drive shaft.

Note: We Recommend You Have a Suspension Specialist Align Your Jeep Once a MetalCloak Suspension is Installed.

Note: MetalCloak does not recommend powder coating your True Dual Rate Coils. See instructions for additional details.

WHY ARE WE THE BEST? IT STARTS WITH THE SHOCKS

The design of the 6Pak didn't just revolutionize shocks, it changed the
suspension game forever.

JK Wrangler 5.5" Suspension, Front Shocks...

6Pak Shock In Action

The MetalCloak Patented 6Pak™ (metalcloakpatents.com) provides the longest shock travel relative to a compressed length for any off-road shock ever built in history, period.

COIL SPRINGS 101-EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COIL SPRINGS

This short video covers what you need to know about the basics of Single Linear Rate Coil Springs and MetalCloak's True Dual Rate Coils. How Linear Coil Springs and MetalCloak's True Dual Rate Coils work and what to expect when using them.

Check Out the Video>>>

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.

REAR COIL SPRING ALIGNMENT & RETAINER...

When lifting a Jeep, the pinion angle must be turned upwards to match the new drive-line angle.The changed pinion angle rolls the axle backwards and moves the factory spring plates, that once were horizonta, to an angled plane; this causes coil springs to bow and not seat properly.

Correct the alignment for your rear coils.

Easy Installation
Corrects Coil Alignment Keeping Coil From Bowing
Secures Coil Springs & Ensures Coil Spring Stays Seated
1/4" Thick Steel
Gold Zinc Plated Finish

Added safety...

Our system also features an in-coil retainer that attaches the coil spring to the coil bucket keeping you safer when at the extremes of articulation; this security feature also prevents rattling coils.

Anti Flop

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 tie-rod to "flop".

As part of the Hi-Steer Kit this bracket raises the track bar to correct steering geometry in conjunction with the Drag-link flip hi-steer for use when lifting a Jeep JK over 3.5 inches, this bracket also incorporates a raised mount for the steering stabilizer for added protection!

The durable bracket is constructed of 7GA Laser Cut CAD formed steel and is finished in Gold Zinc plating for a molecular bond that protects against the elements; relocation bracket is 100% bolt on.
