I own a '16 JKUR on 37's (MTR's) with the MetalCloak 3.5" game changer lift with ARB shocks. I've had the lift for 2 weeks now and my first trip is this coming weekend. On the road, the ride is nice. It corners really flat and with aftermarket front and rear bumpers + winch, the ride is fairly compliant with air pressure in the low 30's. I'm currently running 27psi cold (hits 30 when up to temp) and I'd say the ride at that pressure is slightly better then stock. Driving with stock pressures (36 psi cold) the ride was harsh.

After a week and a half of slow going wrenching and welding, I'm finally feeling ready for an 8 day trip to Moab. And it couldn't have been more down to the wire as we leave Saturday morning!
Onto the pics!

Specs: Front and rear Artec axle trusses, 3.5" Metalcloak lift, aluminum Metalcloak over line fenders with aluminum inner fender wells and 37" Toyo M/T's on 17" Spyderlocks.

The lift kit rides surprisingly smooth and isn't far from the road manners of the stock suspension. I cannot explain how pleased I am with the build thus far. Everything has gone together quite smooth. Next pics will be from Moab, where our first adventure takes us over the white rim trail. A 92 mile stretch across the canyon lands!
