We also work closely with King Shock to match the valving perfectly with our EVO Plush ride coils. This gives you a smooth ride on road and flexes awesome offroad. Please let me know if you have any questions-

Being made in the USA is a big thing for me. I spent most of yesterday on your website and am very impressed with your work. As soon as I have the funds I will be taking my Rubi to see you.

Wow that is odd, first I have heard of this. Sorry about your situation on these. These are built beefier than others and thicker too. Again sorry!

Why don't you have to replace the DS? This kit looks bad azz and I'm getting a quote from a dealer now.

On a 2012 you will need to change it out.

That kit looks sweet and complete! But 4k is starting to hurt just thinking about it lol.

You don't have to replace the DS. I've taken my rig through the Rubicon, Poison Spyder, Hell's Revenge, Fins n Things, and a few other trails, and I haven't had any problems. One of MetalCloak's many selling points with this kit is that you don't have to change the DS. It sounds like you've already discovered their website, if not, check it out, there is a ton of information. Now, would it be a good idea to change your DS? Sure, but it's certainly not necessary with this kit.

I know you've called a dealer to get a quote, but give MC a call as well, and they can answer any of your questions.

There is definitely some sticker shock at 4k, but the first time you drive with it, you won't even think twice about the money you spent. But if that's still too much $$$$ for you, take out the 6Pak Shocks, and use the OME shocks. Same great ride on road, just not as much flex out on the trails.

I'm just wondering why you don't need one. I did call MC on Friday and they were very helpful. Even told me they recommended that I go with the OME shocks bc the six pack would be overkill for my needs. They mentioned not needing a new DS as well but I thought I misunderstood until I saw your comment.
