I'm running their full 3.5" Game Changer with the 6Pak shocks, and it's awesome! This is my wife's daily driver, but I built it up so I can play with it whenever I want. Having said that, I needed something that was going to keep her happy on a day to day basis, and me happy every time I take it wheelin. The combination of 6Pak shocks, DuroFlex joints, and Dual Rate springs makes for a plush on & off road experience. What's different about the 6Paks, and I'm pretty sure nobody else comes near it, is the amount of up-travel you get. I don't want this to come across as some magical suspension system, but it's pretty damn amazing that it does a lot of things well. Here are a couple of pics...

Thanks for the great info, that's going to be my next upgrade. I talked to MC and they said they will have their stuff on a few jeeps at SEMA so I look forward to checking them out

Nice ride! I'm going that direction, I just finished installing the full set of MC control arms
next will be springs and 6pak's after that. Question, is your's an automatic tranny? I am rubbing my Coast driveshaft on my auto tranny now, curious is you are having the same issue?Thanks

Yes, I've got an Auto (2012), and yes I'm having a little rubbing, but with the stock driveshafts. The evap canister skid tore the accordion boot on the rear DS, but that could have been avoided by trimming the stock one, or buying an aftermarket skid. I would think the Coast DS has to be smaller than the stock one, but if you're rubbing, maybe not. As for the front DS, I'm not having any issues.
