MetalCloak’s Game-Changing Duroflex Joint Gets a Kevlar Upgrade

Metalcloak is first to Introduce Kevlar to the Jeep Suspension Market

Rancho Cordova, CA – Metalcloak today made public a project layered under blankets of secrecy; a project that started with the simple question “could we?” over 18 months ago; a project that could, once again, be a “game-changer” for the growing company.

As part of a video series called the “Metalcloak Minute”, the face of Metalcloak, Matson Breakey, announced that since May of 2018, Metalcloak has been “quietly introducing a new Duroflex Joint. Changing over inventory as stock permitted.”


According to the announcement, the new Duroflex Bushings feature “our iconic M embossed on the side... and… it is made with Dupont Kevlar Fiber. Yes. Kevlar.”

The Duroflex Bushing was originally introduced in 2011 to a world of skeptics who were used to the more traditional and vulnerable flex joints for use in their suspension systems. Since then the Duroflex Joints have become “synonymous with great off road performance and awesome daily driver ride quality – all while maintaining industry leading durability,” according to Matson.

Metalcloak has been known to be a company of firsts… from the first removeable production tube fender, to the first production full replacement fender, to the long travel compact shock, to the first vibration dampening high misalignment bushing… and now the first company introduce Kevlar into the Jeep Suspension system.

Metalcloak claims the addition of Kevlar into the Proprietary Vulcanized Rubber Compound that makes up the Duroflex Bushing is all part of continuing to lead the industry in function and durability for years to come.

“Afterall, Dupont's tagline for Kevlar is Dare Bigger, I think that says it all,” concludes Matson.

NEW! Lock-N-Load Long Arm Compound Suspension System for the JK Wrangler

Since introducing our first Game-Changer suspension in 2011, we've been fortunate to gain customer confidence with quality products that deliver what we promise.

From our Patent Pending Duroflex Joints to our Signature True Dual Rate Coils to our Patented 6Paks Shocks and Lock-n-Load Control Arms, we've worked hard to engineer new solutions for old problems.



While our Game-Changer suspensions are still one of the best solutions around and the Patent Pending DB3 Rear Correction Bracket allowed us to create the first 5.5" Bolt-On Suspension with incredible handling characteristics for the JK Wrangler, our customers kept asking for more options.

And that included the question: "When are you doing a long arm?"

The answer is NOW.

Introducing the Lock-N-Load Long Arm Compound Suspension System for the JK Wrangler (2007 - 2017).

Watch the facebook sneak pic video here.

Available in both 4.5" and 5.5" kits, this unique system features:

  • Duroflex Joints
  • True Dual Rate Coils
  • Lock-N-Load Control Arm
  • Durotrak Track Bars
  • DB3 Rear Correction Bracket
  • Optional 6Pak Shocks

Lock-N-Load Long Arm Compound Suspension, 6Pak Edition

And while it requires removing your upper front control arm brackets, the rest of the system is totally bolt-on.

We call this kit a "Compound System" because it utilized Lock-N-Load Radius Arms in the front and our DB3 Correction Bracket with our Duroflex Control Arms in the rear.

This provides all the clearance you need, with incredible ride quality, and massive flex.

Learn more about the Lock-N-Load and the DB3 Correction Bracket with the videos below...





And you can learn more about the Lock-N-Load Long Arm Compound Suspension System on our website at Metalcloak.com

As always, we appreciate your questions and feedback.

NEW JK Wrangler HD Drag Link Flip Kit!


The next entry into our long list of products for the JK Wrangler is our new HD Drag Link Flip Kit, designed for lifts over 4.5" - we are releasing this kit in conjunction with our new 4.5" Game-Changer Suspension Systems.

 

This easy to install kit includes a correction bracket for the track bar and our new HD Drag Link featuring forged 1-Ton joints with anti-sway features...
 

The added bracket raises the track bar to correct steering geometry in conjunction with the Drag-link flip hi-steer for use when lifting a Jeep JK over 4.5 inches, this bracket also incorporates a raised mount for the steering stabilizer for added protection!

 

 This specially designed rod end has been engineered just for the JK Wrangler steering.

Full side to side range of motion ensures bind free steering when pushing the extremes of your Jeeps travel and articulation, while a limited "front to back" range of movement is built into the rod-end and eliminates the possibility of the offset to allow the tie-rod to "flop".



More information can be found on our website here. As always, you feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Hello Rock-Biting Jeepers!

As you can no doubt tell, having seen recent posts on our Facebook page, we are all excited about the upcoming Lucas Oil Off Road Expo. Organized by Family Events, the Off Road Expo is one of the premier events on the West Coast featuring virtually every major player in the Off Road Industry. If you have even an small desire to build your rig, this is the place to be.

For Metalcloak, we've used, and continue to use, Off Road Expo as the best event to launch our new products. In 2009 we launched the Frame-Built Bumpers and the surprise of the event, the Overline Tube Fenders. In 2010 it was the JK Body Armor, and this year the list is almost too long to type... but I'll try. See my list below.

JK SELECTABLE BUMP STOPS...

Among the list of products above are the incredibly new JK Selectable Bump Stops. Like most of our products, every innovation starts with asking "Why Not?" And that was the case with the Bump Stops. We asked, "Why do customers have to know what bump stop they need when the place an order?" Followed by... "Why not give them a bump stop where they can select the height they need AFTER putting the suspension on?"

And the result was the Selectable Bump Stop. An incredibly simple system that uses three 1" Pucks, stacked and topped with a Gold Zinc plated steel disc.

Header

An added benefit of this design? You don't have to remove your coils to install your bump-stop.

Header

Each kit comes with 3 different sets of tapered head bolts for proper sizing and with three sets of pucks. You can get additional pucks if needed.
