Slowly replacing my old lift with Metalcloak. So far, I have the 2.5 inch springs, control arms, bump stops and front track bar with 37s and flat fenders.

Who do I need to talk to in the greater Houston area to get a good price on a Metalcloak lift?

From what I've seen, go directly to MC. Unless your looking for someone to install. I'm sure a few fellow jeepers in that area would be willing to lend a hand. There instructions ate pretty complete. If you go with the 3.5 inch kit, control arms and track bars come already set to the correct length for a JK.

Yeah, you can call Matson directly at Metalcloak and he'll take care of you. My brother has the flares front and rear for a TJ as well as the frame built bumper. I'm trying to get him to do the rails too.

About to pull the trigger on a mc game changer lite 2.5. I emailed Metal Cloak a week ago with no response yet. Will try to follow up with a phone call.
My questions:
1. Should I consider hydraulic bump stops and what kind. I assume it is eAsliest to do them at install rather then later.

2. I tow a camper and right now it sags quite a bit. Is there a fix such as air bags and would it work with Metal Cloak

Airbags will work with any spring but might limit full compression off-roading. Do you know what your tongue weight is? It should be 10-15% of trailer and no greater than 350#. Your best bet might be a weight distributing hitch.

Installed the front bumper base Saturday morning. Very nice as it is all one part. Take about a hour to get it out of the box and on the jeep with the winch. I had 6 bolts and 4 nuts left over. Could not find any more mounting holes.

Very nice! What configuration is the bumper? Which end caps, etc? I'm thinking of ordering one from them.
