The MetalCloak “Bolt-On” Long Arm Upgrade System converts your Jeep’s factory short arm suspension into a full long arm setup. The upgrade delivers superior control, consistent wheelbase throughout the suspension cycle, and improved pinion angle for better drivability both on and off-road.
The kit comes complete with all components required for the conversion.
