Look in the 240 page metalcloak thread, plenty of pics. But here is one I took for someone else who was asking about height and wheel well clearance. Stock flares and 37" Falkens

Oh there isn't a code for MC for any vendor. Their prices are set by MC. The reason you see it higher at NR4x4 is because that price will include shipping. The MC price on their site does not include shipping.

Yeah I figured that out but I hate them and don't want to give them any business after they screwed me out of the RK x-factor I was set on buying back in July.

If I can find any other dealer with comparable price then I'll use them.

Spending $400+ just for coils is gonna be a little painful but hopefully it's worth it in the end.

If you aren't looking to order right away, wait for the next sale weekend. Sign up for the mailing list or check their facebook page every couple days.

Metalcloak has a small military/veteran discount, if you happen to qualify, and also free shipping weekends and occasional other discounts. Won't come close to the price you found for RK coils, but it's better than full price plus shipping.

I'll be ordering the springs Monday or Tuesday.

So guys, what rear trackbar bracket do you all suggest with my direction? Were a few different responses. I'm looking for a weld on, ~3" raised mount position.

Also want to spend as little as possible on that bracket.

So far this is my list.

MC coils-$406.33
AEV geo brackets- ~$100(guy on here selling new in box might Jew him down)
Rear TB bracket-?
Front trackbar-? (Haven't decided RK or Synergy)

...for shocks I will probably use some cheap ranchos at first while I save for the 6 packs for half a year lmao. Those babies are PRICEY. But definitely the best shock for this build without a question as far as I can tell...what say you Dirtman?

According to whoever's drag link flip kit is the cheaper between RK and Synergy, that's who I'll use for the front TB. Any complaints/comparisons of the two brands in those regards? Seem pretty similar to me

It seems Synergy's trackbar is more expensive than RK, but RKs flip kit is more expensive than Synergy.

Can I use the metalcloak trackbar with the synergy flip kit? One would assume there are no issues there? Anybody know for sure?
