It really isnt bad. Even doing it on the floor with a floor jack. Have fun with it. Just heads up if you have stock wheels with 12.5 wide tires it will not fit and will need spacers
I'm glad you showed so much detail for the front brake lines. The instructions for the kit are vague at this part. The instructions specifically for the brakeline replacement kit is a little better, but this video is perfect.
@@dasllamas alright I don't know if I'm just retarded or what. I drilled out a .25" hole for the front brake bracket and I couldn't get the self tapping screws in. I managed to strip out the threads on one, so I tried to drill it out a little more and try again with a second screw and that one still stripped out too. I'm tempted to just weld the bracket in place at this point. How did you make it look so easy 😂
Awesome video, helped me a ton this past weekend when I installed my Metalcloak lift kit, thanks! Did you do anything extra with the brake lines to keep them away from the shocks, springs, tires, etc?
I layer rerouted the rear line inboard of the frame. I recommend that you do this. Front lines I used some teraflex brake line anchors till the braded lines "learned" where to stay
We had multiple trips planned for moab so decided to get the full setup of adjustable uppers and lowers. Kept future modification options open. If I want to go from 2.5 lift to 3.5 i just change springs and adjust the arms and im good to go. The new arms are stronger than oem arms too. There is nothing wrong with the dual rate just think about what you are going to be doing with your jeep.
@@dasllamas Appreciate the reply. Our jk is mostly a daily driver with multiple roadtrips throughout the year to Arizona, Lake Tahoe, and all the surrounding mountains out here in SoCal. That's why I'm looking at the dual rate since we don't do any heavy rock crawling, but I'm wondering if I'm gonna be missing the extra control arms that come with the game changer. I could always add them in the future if need be, just wondering if it would be overkill at the moment.
THis is a great video! Thank you for your time!
Thanks for the video 👍
Too funny. Nice garage Art. SXT cred. Good stuff Dave. Like building a kit plane in your garage without considering how to get it out.
We had to think ahead haha. Fits in my garage though!
@@dasllamas As long as you don’t need to deflate the tires :-). Looking forward to Part II
I'm gonna be installing this kit on my JKU this weekend :D

What size tires are you running?
35x12
Why not the dual rate?
What swayed you to opt for the game changer?

@@e5toro7008 sounds like the dual rate is a good option. Join the metal cloak owners group on FB. Steve Anita is super knowledgeable in that group.
