Hello everyone from Memphis area.
Nothing really to say which is odd as I tend to talk A LOT! I am an Army Veteran and JKUS owner (named Infidel). The Infidel currently has a Teraflex Outback kit with a set of MetalCloak 3.5" DR springs and Falcon 3.3 shocks. Nothing heavy done to it yet but hopefully soon this will change. I will add more pictures here as soon as I filter through my phone and find some worthy :) but here is one from my last outing.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I got some small goodies from MC in the garage and waiting for shipment so I will be posting more pics.

Funny (well to me) story in the meantime, so I bought my Jeep a couple years ago and had it stock to wheel just to get a baseline and it was awesome. The next year I went to my local 4x4 shop and was pointed towards the Teraflex Overlanding Kit.... I should have gone with the GC, but I didn't dig into the lifts as much as I should have. But I digress, the lift was fine, but the fine print was that the springs where built for weight and if still stock it rides like an empty dump truck. So, whenever my wife would ride, she wasn't happy.... AT ALL, so she started pushing me to trade in the Jeep for a 4Runner. I am a stubborn individual and didn't go down without a fight. I bought a set of MC DR springs and even though the rears are the wrong ones (story to follow) she climbs in and is all mad because "this thing rides better than my Highlander" #Booyah.

Now the ride of the Infidel is awesome, and my wife got off her 4Runner kick but what really won her over was MC's Beyond Godsent Customer Service. My buddy and I where stoked when the springs came in, as he never really paid any attention to MC since his Jeep is pretty much done and he just researches upgrades when something breaks. We bust butt and get the old’s out and realize the rear TF Dump truck springs where tagging the heck out of the rear trackbar, so we broke open the spring boxes and noticed how small the rear springs where. We get the install going and the fronts go in like a glove, but the rear was an absolute bear. Something didn't feel right, but we got them in. I first noticed something was amiss when the compacted coils of the dual rate where at the bottom, so I looked up the instructions and found conflicting instructions. One said the tightly wound coils should be oriented at the bottom and one said the coils should be at the top. Well my buddy in Oregon just completed a GC install the day prior so I hit him up. He sent me a pic and then told me that he got the wrong set for the rears, but MC overnighted them and they finished the install. So, I shot him a picture and he laughed and said, "leave it to you to be able to fit a set of TJ fronts on the rear of JK". I hit up MC on FB Messenger and that is when my love for them began. All I needed was my order number and boom 12h later the correct springs are on my front porch! Now I told my wife about the mishap because if she sees Jeep Parts on the front porch, she doesn't jump for joy like I do so yeah. The first thing she said was "you mean to tell me your Jeep, A JEEP, rides better than my Highlander and it doesn't even have the right springs under it?!" then she asked about how long it will take to fix and how safe it is...... well that is when the doorbell rang and I said "those are the correct ones". My wife laughed at me and said, "no freaking way, WTF did you buy?!" Needless to say, MC makes everywhere else inferior when it comes to making things right.

Fast forward a week (to last night) and I ordered an RDS and the correction bracket for the rear springs to correct the before mentioned rear trackbar issue and to my surprise her response was "you ordered them from MC right?!". Now everyone has heard the "Happy Wife Happy Life" saying, well apparently buying Jeep parts from MC also makes the wife happy.
