MC VIDEO: Featured Product: JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator RockSport Black Front Lower Outboard Shock Mount

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.

[00:00] Have you noticed your shocks hitting the frame and possibly damaging your shocks?

[00:04] Hi. I'm Scott Becker with MetalCloak, here to talk to you about the RockSport Black outboard lower front shock mounts for the JL Wrangler and JT Gladiators.

[00:14] We here at MetalCloak provide the outboard shock mounts when you purchase the front RockSport Black shocks. But if you purchase these shocks from a third party, you may require these mounts to run your shocks properly.

[00:29] But why do you need them? You see, increasing articulation on your Jeep allows the shock body to swing towards the frame at droop. This can cause serious interference problems that may not only limit your suspension performance, but can also damage your shocks.

[00:47] The outboard shock brackets are specifically designed for the JL and JT front RockSport Black Shocks, and not only move the lower shock mounts outward, but also turn the shock ninety degrees, allowing the shocks to rotate with the axle instead of binding on the bushing and possibly bending the shock shafts.

[01:11] The shock mounts are made strong from laser cut three sixteen steel and CNC bent for a perfect fit. The brackets are finished in our signature gold zinc chromate and include bracket spacers and grade eight hardware.

[01:27] The brackets are easy to install and bolt directly into factory locations with metal sleeves to strengthen the attachment points to ensure long lasting function and durability. Best of all, these are made right here in the USA.

[01:43] MetalCloak RockSport Black outboard shock mounts are designed for the maximum articulation our MetalCloak game-changing suspensions provide. So solve the clearance of shock interference before it becomes a problem.

[01:58] Upgrade your Jeep's performance with the MetalCloak RockSport Black lower front outboard shock mounts for the JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator.

[02:08] MetalCloak, it's your Jeep, only better.
