- Quick video showing how to put TJ Metalcloak dual rate coils front and rear on a WJ Grand Cherokee. My specific Jeep is a 2002 Overland trim. Subscribe and stick around to see more videos as we get the WJ to the trails!

Good video, thanks.
We all as a 4x4 community need to set a standard of measuring from center hub, not floor, so the info is translatable to others.
Pretty similar in stance to IRO 3" springs. You should tell us about how it rides with the progressive coils.
Man, them sliders look good! Thanks for the video Colby!
They're honestly top 3 favorite things about the Jeep!
nice work homie
I have the same fox shocks take offs on mY wj and I'm at 4 inch coils all around and I bottomed out like crazy even on street roads in the wront. I added a 2 inch budget lift pucks on the front and I no longer bottom out. I recommend going no less than 4.5 inch coils or else you will end up with premature blown front shocks
Thanks for the video bud, How are the gladiator shocks holding up?
i have the same wheel tire combo with a 2 inch pucks. which adapters did you use to make the front gladiator shocks work? and how did you like it before you replaced the springs
Nice jeep do you know what your upper and lower control arms are set at I just bought some just like them? All I have a 4-in lift on mine
Could I ask what your wheel hub to fender measurement is, front and rear? I know your cut in the front is cut and you can guess that number if you want but IRO does have "Stock" numbers to reference.
Are you using a stock tj spring,if so what year tj,also is there anything else you had to change,I'm a baller on a budget with a wj I'm trying to add my own touches to it,
I see you got the rubicon upgrade. How are they?
Sweet WJ and great video! Just got me a wj and the rubicon take off wheels on 33s. Do you have a link for the shocks and spring coils or where can I purchase them?
Springs are on Metalcloaks website, shocks I got used on Marketplace
Good info. It makes me want to get the dual rate springs as well. What were you running before?
Before I was running some unbranded springs that I bought used on Facebook
Any update on how the ride is and such
Rides great! I've been very happy with it overall. Front shocks are a tiny bit too long with the blown spring isolators I have but otherwise fanatic
How does it ride? I am trying to find a softer riding coils and shocks than standard
It rides super good. I'm very happy with it
Where did you get those headlights and Fox shocks?
Headlights are easy to find a lot of places as WJ projector headlights, the shocks are rubicon gladiator take offs
How’s the ride quality of the metalcloak
They're very good! I like them a lot
I don’t know why people are raving about using metalcloak TJ springs on the WJ. First off the TJ is a substantially lighter vehicle and when these springs are used, they completely compress the dual rate portion to where it is absolutely useless. They are also a lower spring rate and cause more body roll. I’m sorry but this was a complete waste of money.
The dual rate part is supposed to compress all the way, only to be used when at full droop so you don't drop a spring, even on the TJ. Extremely helpful when on long arms (which are coming later this year for my Jeep). The top coils are a very low spring rate, you can pretty easily compress them by hand
@@BackyardBuilder513 I agree that the spring rate is somewhat negligible. Ride height can be resolved with spacers. If body roll is a concern then sway bar upgrades are probably the better solution. And with proper selection of shocks you can still get a softer or more firm ride if desired.
The spring rate is negligible between the TJ springs and those for the WJ. These are useful for not dropping springs at full droop.
