JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator RockSport Black Outboard Shock Mounts

This video from MetalCloak introduces the RockSport Black Front Lower Outboard Shock Mounts for JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator models. Scott Becker explains why these outboard brackets are necessary when running RockSport Black Shocks—how increased articulation can cause the shock bodies to swing inward at droop, creating interference that limits suspension performance and risks damaging shocks. The outboard mounts move the lower shock mounts outward and rotate the shock 90 degrees so it follows axle rotation, preventing bushing binding and bent shafts. The brackets are laser-cut 3/16" steel, CNC-bent, finished in gold zinc chromate, include spacers and grade 8 hardware, install into factory locations with metal sleeves for reinforcement, and are made in the USA to support MetalCloak's high-articulation suspensions.
