Why MetalCloak?
Duroflex Joints®
The Duroflex Joint® is MetalCloak's revolutionary, patented (Patent Number: US 9,995,358) control arm joint that sets the standard for off-road performance and durability. Made with Kevlar-infused elastomer, the joint delivers extreme strength and longevity while maintaining flexibility where it counts. Unlike traditional bushings, the Duroflex Joint® provides over 34˚ of misalignment, offering unmatched flex and articulation without compromising on-road comfort. Its proprietary self-centering, vibration-dampening bushing absorbs harsh impacts and minimizes wear, making it ideal for both daily driving and hardcore wheeling. The Duroflex Joint® is built to outperform and outlast no matter where the trail leads.
Best Flex
The Duroflex Joint® offers the best flex in the off-road industry, delivering over 34˚ of misalignment more than any other bushing-based joint on the market. This unmatched articulation translates to maximum suspension travel, keeping your tires on the ground and maintaining traction through the most demanding terrain. While other joints compromise flex for stability or comfort, the Kevlar-infused, patented Duroflex® design gives you both: superior off-road performance and smooth, quiet street driving. No other joint combines this level of flexibility, durability, and ride quality making Duroflex® the gold standard for serious Jeepers.
Self Centering
The self-centering feature of the Duroflex® Bushing is a key innovation that sets it apart from traditional control arm joints. Designed to return to its original position after flexing, the bushing maintains proper alignment and reduces stress on your suspension components over time. This built-in self-centering action not only improves handling and steering responsiveness on the road but also minimizes wear and tear which extends the life of the joint. Combined with its Kevlar-infused construction and vibration dampening properties, the Duroflex® Bushing delivers a smoother, more controlled ride both on the trail and off.
NVH
The Duroflex Joint® is engineered to dramatically reduce Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH), making it the ideal choice for Jeepers who want off-road performance without sacrificing on-road comfort. The joint is specifically designed to absorb and dampen vibrations that would otherwise transfer into the cab, providing a quieter and smoother ride. Unlike noisy metal-on-metal joints, the Duroflex® delivers trail-proven articulation while maintaining a refined, better than factory-like feel on pavement. Whether you're crawling over rocks or cruising down the highway, the Duroflex Joint® ensures a comfortable, controlled driving experience.
Durotrak® Bushing
The Durotrak® bushing is MetalCloak's patented track bar joint (Patent Number: US 9,694,637), engineered to deliver superior stability, control, and long-term durability. Featuring an innovative two-piece design, it combines a precision-machined housing with a high-performance elastomer bushing to minimize deflection and eliminate excess play. This results in a tighter, more responsive steering feel and improved handling especially important for lifted Jeeps. Built to absorb vibration and harsh impacts, the Durotrak® bushing provides a smoother, quieter ride without sacrificing strength or performance. Trusted by Jeepers everywhere, it's the proven upgrade for those who demand precision both on and off the trail.
True Dual Rate™ Coils
MetalCloak's True Dual Rate™ Coils revolutionized Jeep suspension tuning by delivering the perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road performance. Unlike traditional progressive or single-rate springs, our True Dual Rate™ Coils feature two distinct coil sections; a lighter initial rate for a smooth, stable ride on the street, and a firmer secondary rate that engages under compression for maximum control and articulation on the trail. This design maintains consistent lift height and ride quality, even underload allowing the coils to stay planted in the coil bucket. Our innovation was such a game-changer that the rest of the industry followed our lead, adopting similar coil designs in response to the performance and popularity of MetalCloak's original concept. When you choose True Dual Rate™ Coils, you're choosing the proven originator not an imitation.
CTI™ Trailer
CTI™ (Corner Travel Index) is MetalCloak's real world articulation measurement system, developed to accurately evaluate how well a suspension performs where it matters most; on actual terrain, not just a flex ramp. Unlike the outdated RTI (Ramp Travel Index), which only measures one wheel's ability to climb a ramp, CTI™ measures how far each front wheel can travel up while the opposite rear wheel drops down, simulating real off-road conditions. This gives a more complete and realistic view of suspension performance. MetalCloak's suspension systems consistently deliver the highest CTI™ scores in the industry, thanks to innovative technologies like the patented Duroflex Joints®, Durotrak® Bushings and True Dual Rate™ Coils. This unmatched articulation means better traction, stability, and control over uneven terrain keeping your tires planted and your Jeep moving forward when others get stuck.
