Default Metalcloak 2.5 dual rate coils

Anybody running the 2.5 dual rates from metalcloak? Any sagging under added bumper weight?

We have the 3,5" coils and no problems. This is a long thread but good info.

I've had the 3.5 for 3 years. Haven't noticed any sagging yet. 👍

No sagging at all for me either.

I ended up with about 1/4" more lift. So, 2-door 2.5" coils and I got 2.75". I wouldn't say my Jeep is heavy, but it could be lighter. I'd think a more typical 2-door would get 3", but once you're all loaded up for a trip, it doesn't go to 2", which is how they're designed.

I have the 3.5". No sag. You'll be good with the 2.5". MetalCloak is top shelf quality. You'll net more lift than advertised. Their advertised heights are for a fully loaded down jeep with all the body armor, skids, bumpers...etc.

I've had the 3.5" coils on my 4door for about a year, I am right around that height. full skids/sliders/bumpers/winch and no sagging. but I did take out the carpet. that's probably it.

Ordered the 2.5" coils, still need to pick them up from UPS. Still on the fence if I want to stick with 2.5" on a 4 door and 35s (eventually 37s).

Why not? Are you thinking of different lift height or just debating between 35s or 37s. With a little modification for little to no money you can run 37s on 2.5" just fine.
