MetalCloak RockSport Slate Front Shocks (pair) for Jeep Wrangler JL (2018+) and Jeep Gladiator JT (2019+) are twin-tube long-travel shocks with a built-in outboard upper mount and an oversized 18mm chrome shaft. Tuned to work with MetalCloak True Dual Rate coils, they balance daily-road comfort with controlled articulation off-road. Note: they will not fit a Jeep with no lift and will not fit a JT Gladiator Mojave.
MetalCloak RockSport Slate Front Shocks (Pair) – Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ / Jeep Gladiator JT 2019+
RockSport Slate is MetalCloak’s twin-tube long-travel front shock option with the same valving philosophy as the classic RockSport Red, packaged in a new “Slate” look. It’s built to pair with MetalCloak suspension systems and deliver a clean balance of comfort on pavement and controlled damping when the trail gets rough.
Key construction details—like the built-in outboard upper mount, oversized 18mm chrome shaft, reinforced bushing eyes, natural rubber bushings, and nitrogen charge—support consistent performance and durability under real off-road use. Important: these shocks will not fit a Jeep with no lift and will not fit a JT Gladiator Mojave.

Key benefits
- Long-travel twin-tube construction supports a softer, more compliant ride while keeping damping controlled and predictable.
- Outer reserve gas tube acts as an added barrier for the working tube and helps protect against external damage.
- Built-in outboard upper mount helps maintain alignment, improves articulation, and maximizes clearance in the front suspension area.
- Oversized 18mm chrome-plated shaft improves resistance to bending under heavy load and reduces friction for long service life.
- Double-welded bushing eyes strengthen the shock ends for impact-heavy off-road driving.
- Natural rubber bushings help absorb vibration/harshness while keeping mounting points solid over time.
- Nitrogen charge helps resist fading by reducing aeration/foaming in the hydraulic fluid during repeated impacts.
