If I ever have a garage that I can do the stuff you do, it feels great knowing I have your rolodex of videos to go through when its time to upgrade. Way to make it look easy, even when I know its not! Keep it up!👍👍👍
FYI as of August 2023 the front control arm brackets have changed such that an exhaust loop delete kit is required for the driver's side front lower control arm to have clearance to travel. Also, the bracket is a bit difficult to install on the passenger side. On one hand, you don't have to weld the crush sleeve, but you *might* have to drop the fuel tank to bolt the control arm bracket to the transmission crossmember. I didn't have to drop fuel tank, and ended up being able to crowfoot the bolt from the front and tightened with a swivel from the back on the outer crossmember bolt. All that said your video is what helped me to decide on the same lift. I have 2015 2-door Black 6MT and have the same suspension as you (except 3.5", fox shocks, and no Db3 s in back because I run 35s). If I knew how to make a good video I would share the differences. At any rate thank you so much again Jason
I appreciate you really are doing this out of your garage. You probably have a slightly better set up than the average enthusiast, having a welder and plasma cutter, but you do an excellent job making this seem attainable by anyone. Thanks for the content!
I really dig hearing this level of appreciation... means a lot because I put a lot of effort into showing that average skill and ability can overcome most obstacles with some patience and perseverance. Thank you!
Yep, I had rubicon express metal on metal, but they had a harsh ride and the joints needed greasing often. After two years with them 3 of the joints failed and so I went with Metalcload duroflex and what a difference, a smooth ride, excellent articulation, steers perfect and no greasing!
Your excitement for your work is captivating! I love watching you! I love how you explain everything and make is understandable for anyone who watches! You show the whole install and I love that! You keep it light and fun! I just love watching your Jeep builds! You are my inspiration to build my Jeep one day! Thank you!
Dude, you make every install look so easy. Since you are taking subscribers recommendations, I usually give every Metalcloak part a good coat of clear to preserve that zinc gold longer prior to installation. Thanks for taking time to do this install.
AHAHA!!!! man I was just looking to put 37s on my JKU and saw your FIRST video where you crammed them on with no lift.... I immediately had to jump to your channel and see whats going on.....4 years later your Jeep has GROWN!!!!! Im also looking at doing long arms with the 37s, but at the same time!!!
That's the smart way of doing it! I've been so happy with the long arm kit so far. Even just putting several hundreds of miles around Los Angeles it has proven to be better than I could've imagined. Off road improvement was the given but how great this thing is for everything else is amazing.
This was what I’ve been waiting for!! I have 1 more payment to go. Metalcloak is by far the best bang for your buck. 1st time ever seeing what I needed to see. My mind is made up. 4.5 lock n load all the way!🇺🇸
Howdy! I can't even explain how good this suspension system is. On the road and around town, the Jeep feels like driving a car and I haven't even begun to see how much more capable it is off road.
Its great to watch and learn from your TH-cam and watch you do it yourself is a great help to others. I have always enjoyed working on my own 88YJ and now we bought a 2017 JK Unlimited and have started on it. No lift yet. Want to make sure it still fits in standard garage.
I am waaaaayyyyyy below an average weekend mechanic and I love your videos. always very informative and I learn something new. We are gonna get long arms! Say hi to Pinto please!
I went to sub after you located that hole THEN drilled it, the right way. Realized I was already subbed. Your attention to detail is impressive. Good work brother!
you are amazing. I’ll be doing this years to come. One of my goals, to do my own build, my self, maybe help from my dad, fam, and friends. Thanks for sharing.
Love your videos,I just found your channel.great detail in all of your installations. I’ve got a 2017 jeep JK 2 door sport.Im wanting to build this jeep to be a fun weekend rig for the trails.I will be installing upgraded axles and suspension.I’ve always went with Rock Krawler suspension kits.The Metalcloak suspension kits look to be nice quality as well.Love the channel!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, I have be running the 2.5 Metalcloak Game changer lift on a 2012 2dr JKR for the last 8 yrs and love it! Loading it down with overland "gear" I had to put new 4.5 springs in the back where the majority of the load was and 3.5 in the front to level it out . So this was pretty interesting!
Hey Jeepin Jason.. you look like your having too much fun! LOL. You keep taking your rig to the next level. My JK can’t keep up any more.. thanks a lot for taking us on the journey with you.
Definitely not as high tech as 4 link long arms but WAY easier to install and WAY better than the mid length arms. I was legit "over the moon" happy on that test drive part of the video because the thing felt amazing already so I know with some tweaking it's going anywhere I aim it!
I just wanted to express a serious safety concern, the pedestal fan in your garage doesn’t have a shroud and you could experience a nasty bruise…obviously I’m joking, I love the channel, unassuming and to the point good stuff, and Pinto. I’m glad I found you.
It's going to be fine... I'm not worried at all and don't actually see anything needing to be trimmed but shouldn't be a big deal considering what I just went through to install the lift.
@@AutoEdits awesome, I’m also curious what you decide on a rear housing/axle combination. Sixties would be nice but I just bought new beadlocks, 5X5. I’ll definitely be following along as usual
Finally ! I have been waiting i just knew this was your next step ! I cant believe the only welding needed is those spacers correct ? The welding is what originally scared me away but if that's the only welding I'm pulling the trigger
Great video Thank you for the content. I reviewed and read the instruction for this kit for my TJ and it requires a little more welding according to the instructions. Thanks again for the detail.
this vid was awesome as always you do work like I would do it! I don't have a Jeep but I love your channel! I wish there was,a channel like this for Ford F150s like mine!
bolt on long arm kit?! YES PLEASE!!! Thanks for all the great videos. I kinda feel bad because i like that you're still kind of a small channel and it feels more personal and i like reading/seeing you respond to comments but i know you should have 100 times more subs and i should tell everyone about you but then there would be more people here and it wouldnt feel the same way. It's a real moral dilemma. :))
HA! This is a funny dilemma... I'm just happy and thankful to be able to create the content at this point and interactions like this are what it's all about. Thanks for being here!
Ok great Just installed my skid plates from metalcloak Just didn't know if it worked with the long arm kit for me in the future Good to know I can have both Thanks
@@AutoEdits you are as anal as I am about painting stuff before installing over it and making sure holes are drilled perfectly... I get anxiety when I watch people install parts over dried up mud or paint stuff without cleaning it with thinner first and priming it. Are you a virgo too? Love the direction your Jeep has taken and look forward to that other build you mentioned.
Cool job u may want to relocate the rear sway bar back a bit move the bracket back front hole to back hole and drill new one for rear and get a insert for the back bolt much smoother no rubbing !
Excellent str8 forward video AE! SOOOOOOOenvious of your suspension system. Looks absolutely amazing. And is definitely a head turner for how it looks. You have a great holiday season. And Trail Oooooon!
Your a mad man ha ha! In your video looked like the rear driver brake line was close to your tire, I'm sure your on it! Just In case you didn't see it I threw it out there...I got to say I learn some thing new in every video thank you so much for that happy holidays man!
@@AutoEdits yes my friend looking forward to add some cool stuff to my old 07 soon 😉. Great video love the new suspension feel. You also make it with some of the best taste in the TH-cam!
Can’t believe I’m posting again. BUT…….I know HAVE my 4.5 Lock n Load on MY JK. It goes without saying……this has been a life changing event for my Jeep. Rides like a tank. Had #musiccity4x4 install this. Highly recommend this!!! It’s my Jeep only better!!🇺🇸
I have the rough country long arm kit 4 inch lift and it's garbage. I cut all the lower control arm pockets already so installing this kit should be easier...🥵....
I'm Stoked that your stoked. Although personally, not a fan of radius arms or drop brackets. Subjected to binding. How is a kit comprised of antiquated tech supposed to be Metalcloak's flagship suspension? There's a reason why all the other Premium suspension manufacturers don't produce radius arms for JKs...Rock Krawler, EVO, Icon, Teraflex. Now look at the ones that do...Rough Country, Rusty's. Just saying.
I don't agree with this at all but totally appreciate your opinion. This offers amazing performance for the relative ease of installation. What bind are you even talking about???? With the lock n load unlocked it offers an amazing amount of flex. Is there better, absolutely... at this easy level of install in my garage... no way!
@@AutoEdits I wouldn't even say better honestly. If perhaps your looking at max an inch more of travel on a 4 link vs this, I'd say ok but as a whole metalcloak with their shocks and coil combo then I'd say Metalcloak is simply better in almost every way. Now fyi this isn't their flagship by any means so if we are to compare 4 link long arm MC with 6pac shocks to 4 link long arm from any other manufacturer with let's say falcon shocks(or fox) I'd still say that no one compares. The only people I think that can gets close is Teraflex but imo it's all about ride. MC offers best flex, best ride, easiest install, and comparable pricing. All in all MC all the way in terms of final destination lifts. And that's not to say you can't get by with other cheaper lifts or anything like that and I am sure you can get close for cheaper but MC has a good thing that is simply *the best*
@@4WDTrek great little channel brother. I watched your walker valley video, I’ll be back for more in a bit. Your production quality is really good on the video.
@@tuggerthegriz5484 thanks! I'm trying to be better at remembering to talk while on the trail. Its hard to remember. Voice overs are definitely a learning curve. Thank you!
You can't make comparisons to Ian's rig. He ran a TJ for TTS. Radius arms perform well on the smaller wheelbase but the great thing about the JKU is that you have the wheelbase and geometry to run a true long arm kit without having to deal with the cons of a radius arm & drop brackets.
Older video but I was wondering if you wish you went with MC's long arm rear or are you still happy with the DB3 brackets? I'm at that cross-roads now. Thanks so much for your how-to videos, I refer back to them again and again!
The DB3 is such a simple install and offer so much improvement for over the road driving that it's easy to say I'm still VERY happy with that choice. If I were building it again, I would choose the long arm only because it is overall the right answer but something dramatic would have to change in how often I do hard wheeling to justify making the change at this point. Hope that helps.
Great video Jason!! Can I be cheeky and see if I could blag an Auto Edits sticker for my car? Im a big fan and this gal loves your upgrades and Pinto. You aint too bad yourself! love Joanne x
Love the progress man! I was just wondering what length you started at on your rear arms with the DB3 brackets...I am really thinking about doing this.
Well after watching your video about six times, I decided to tackle this one, so I did but I should had watch the video ten times, few things here and there, took me a total of 31 hours to complete and there was plenty of ddakjffgkdfakjksfkj but all set and done. thanks for your videos, always looking forward to see what are you coming up with next.

Absolutely enjoy following your channel. I learn so much and respect your opinion on equipment.
I'm about 2yrs behind you on your build.
Awesome, thank you! This is hard work and gets expensive fast so just make a plan and stay focused!!!
It’s been awesome to watch your jeep transform from the first video🙏🇨🇦That’s what my two door needs 👍love the string technique
You can do it!
Your Jeep is top notch and the build is so clean! cant wait to see more. I love the time and effort you take in each step. we share a level of OCD
Thank you, glad you appreciate that stuff!
That’s a beautiful kit! Designed for guys that have some skills, but not necessarily masters at Jeep craft. Thank you for this video

Now fyi this isn't their flagship by any means so if we are to compare 4 link long arm MC with 6pac shocks to 4 link long arm from any other manufacturer with let's say falcon shocks(or fox) I'd still say that no one compares. The only people I think that can gets close is Teraflex but imo it's all about ride. MC offers best flex, best ride, easiest install, and comparable pricing. All in all MC all the way in terms of final destination lifts. And that's not to say you can't get by with other cheaper lifts or anything like that and I am sure you can get close for cheaper but MC has a good thing that is simply *the best*
Thanks for this!
Very well done content sir!!!! Good looking Jeep also.
Much appreciated!
I learn so much from your vids, I feel like I owe you money! But I don’t have any! ☹️
One day I’m gonna buy you a beer though! Promise! 😉
HA! Hey, you watched the video and interact in a great way here... That is all I need so thank you!
Looks great! Is it just me or are the rear brake lines making me really nervous? They look awe full close to rubbing those rear tires!
Thanks... that camera angle did make them look very exposed! I will put a little effort into them!
Now you have to go back to Baja and hit that pothole again, LOL.
I hope to miss that sucker next time!!!
@@AutoEdits 😁😆😁😆😁
Anyone else want this guy as there best friend ? I sure do
I just want this guy on my own channel! Teach me his ways!
@@4WDTrek great little channel brother. I watched your walker valley video, I’ll be back for more in a bit. Your production quality is really good on the video.
@@tuggerthegriz5484 Thank you! I am still in the learning process on it all, so I appreciate the compliment!
@@4WDTrek yeah the voice overs sound weird but the rest was beautifully done. Keep killing it brother and I am sure it will all come together for you.
@@tuggerthegriz5484 thanks! I'm trying to be better at remembering to talk while on the trail. Its hard to remember. Voice overs are definitely a learning curve.
Thank you!
You can't make comparisons to Ian's rig. He ran a TJ for TTS. Radius arms perform well on the smaller wheelbase but the great thing about the JKU is that you have the wheelbase and geometry to run a true long arm kit without having to deal with the cons of a radius arm & drop brackets.
I did.
Nice work bud. I got some new trails in mind for that thing now! And there’s tacos too
Oh heck yeah dude! I keep watching those dates you are posting waiting to pounce! 😂
Man oh man, your jeep is quickly becoming my favourite out there! Whatcha doing with those "old" mid arms? 👀
LOL! I'm going to see what I need for my buddies jeep and then figure out what to do with them!
@@AutoEdits sounds good brother! Can wait to see that new build
Older video but I was wondering if you wish you went with MC's long arm rear or are you still happy with the DB3 brackets? I'm at that cross-roads now. Thanks so much for your how-to videos, I refer back to them again and again!
The DB3 is such a simple install and offer so much improvement for over the road driving that it's easy to say I'm still VERY happy with that choice. If I were building it again, I would choose the long arm only because it is overall the right answer but something dramatic would have to change in how often I do hard wheeling to justify making the change at this point. Hope that helps.
Great video Jason!! Can I be cheeky and see if I could blag an Auto Edits sticker for my car? Im a big fan and this gal loves your upgrades and Pinto. You aint too bad yourself! love Joanne x
Thanks so much!!! I don't have any stickers yet... guess I should make some!!! You are the best! Pats for Pinto specially from you!
Love the progress man! I was just wondering what length you started at on your rear arms with the DB3 brackets...I am really thinking about doing this.
20" on the lower and 17.5" on the upper but just installed this on my buddies jeep and had to tweak it a little.
Looks great!! You did a great job
Thank you!! 😊
Well after watching your video about six times, I decided to tackle this one, so I did but I should had watch the video ten times, few things here and there, took me a total of 31 hours to complete and there was plenty of ddakjffgkdfakjksfkj but all set and done. thanks for your videos, always looking forward to see what are you coming up with next.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Jason, I got to get a pair of long arms for my keep now, damn it more $$$$
Ha! They are pretty dang good... I'm doing another set on my friends Jeep now!
Hey Jason, great video's. You already saved me a lot of time and $$$ with this one. Are you still running 37s ? Thanks for all of your hard work.
Thanks! Yes I'm back on 37's th-cam.com/video/LS6cFQe_CUs/w-d-xo.html
