Default arm upgrade

Looking to upgrade my stock arms. Metalcloak vs RK that's what I'm thinking now. Unless anyone else has another mfg that they would recommend

Both are good options. In my opinion the Metal Cloak provide a softer ride, but the RK feel beefier/stronger.

You can't go wrong with either one. I chose the metal cloak because of the type of rubber mount.

I choose Rock Krawler. Super strong and sturdy plus the new pro Krawler joints are easily serviceable. I looked at metal cloak but decided on RK.

I have RK, really sturdy arms and the lifetime warranty really helped made that decision easier.

Synergy, calayton, currie, rockmen, jks, Off road Evo are other quality arms to look at. The Joint the manufactures use is the important part of the arm. The question to ask is what you feel you need control arms? Are you bashing on rocks where you need a super heavy arm? You will be surprised how quickly you can weigh down your jeep.
