MetalCloak is an American manufacturer based in California that has been designing and building off-road components exclusively for Jeeps for over two decades. Every part is CAD-engineered, laser cut, welded and finished in-house, and the company backs its structure and coating with a lifetime warranty.

Weld-On Rear Shock Mount Kit - Jeep TJ/LJ Wrangler

Brackets welded to the rear axle that relocate the lower shock mount. On a lifted TJ the factory mount puts the shock at an unfavourable angle and the pinion angle changes too - these brackets let you set both correctly.

Specification

• Weld-on bracket: 3/16" (4.8 mm) hot rolled steel
• Finish: raw steel
• Fitment: Jeep TJ and LJ Wrangler 1996-2006

Note - welding required

The manufacturer rates this as difficult and it requires welding. Do not buy it unless you have access to welding. We can do this work in our workshop.

What owners say

4 reviews averaging 75%. One is substantive:

"Pinion alignment. These are a must for a lift requiring a proper pinion to drive shaft alignment. The instructions could have been clearer but we did figure it out, after all these were weld-on which assumes the purchaser makes the ultimate decision on what and how much to modify the rear axle." - 4/5

The lowest score on this product concerns the manufacturer's US service, not the part itself. We handle import and warranty for you.

The finish is raw - protect it after welding.

Installation

Moderate, welding required. 1-2 hours.

A note on vehicle age

TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.

We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.

Warranty and service

MetalCloak backs its products with a lifetime warranty on structure and coating for the original owner. The warranty does not cover accident damage, incorrect installation or owner-performed modifications. As an authorised dealer we handle the whole claim process for you.
