Are the shackle mounts on the Metalcloak Front Bumper 3/4", 7/8", or 1"?

Has any had there MC control arms or springs powder coated, If so hows it holding up? I just pulled the trigger and ordered all the rest of the control arms to go with the 3.5" ARB kit that I still haven't received the track bar for yet. I also ordered up the MC exhaust spacers, rear brake lines, as well as the MetalCloak JK Outboard Front Lower Shock Mount Spacer Kit. Now I'm really getting excited to install everything .... I will order the Wheels and tires in another 2-3 weeks depending on when all the other parts arrive.

If you don't like the color you can paint over what's existing. The standard finish is a miracle of modern science. Zero rust on my arms even after being solid white with salt for 4 months straight.

That's good to hear but I'm in the north east and we get some ridiculous amounts of snow, ice, and rain. I'm also worried about all of the rock salt on the roads from December to March.

I've had the uppers on since Nov. I've noticed 0 rust and we got hammered with snow at school for a couple months.

Proof... lol...



After we wrapped it up, we signed and wrote our build date on the bottom of the tub.

Also, although it looks like it, the stands are not supporting the tie rod.
