4.5 inch Metalcloak springs

What do you love about them? What makes them better than other springs that you have tried both on and off road? What about their characteristics makes them work really well off road?
I’m genuinely interested, as I debated between them and the Currie 4” but ultimately went with the Currie.
Why not use a pair of limiting straps to prevent the springs from falling out? There's no benefit to having the suspension droop further than what the springs can stay seated with.
If Dave is moving shock mounts, then he is taking advantage of the amount of travel the MC allow before they unseat. But there is more to that story. He is doing much much more in order to make it work. Mine with Currie LJ 4" coils and 12" Foxes is already at the top and bottom of the Rubicon's drive shaft swing. And that little bit hasn't been achieved without some trickery.

And what are the stats on your Jeep? Skids, armor, tire size if you have a carrier, bumpers, winch, hardtop?
Right now im stripped down. Only half doors. Cheep Chinese knockoff front bumper. Engo sr9 winch on order.
Still running a crap tube rear bumper.
Plans are to eventually but rock sliders and tube fenders with a little bit of armor. Once i find something that I love.

I went from stiff as a board 4" Skyjacker Springs to the MC 3.5". The ride is so much better and the flex is amazing. I haven't lifted a tire with MC springs like I did with the Skyjackers. I'm pretty sure I gained about .5" to 1" over the skyjackers but I have since added armor and front bumper. I'm not a suspension guru by any means and I'd probably feel the same about Currie's springs.
No, I originally bought the shocks with the Skyjacker springs to help with the ride quality. They helped a lot in that department and with the skyjacker were nowhere near close to maxing out, now that's a different story with the MC springs.
Also as of now, I have no rear bumper, MC corner guards and rocker guards, front bumper w/winch loop and a Warn 9k winch. The MC armor was off of a buddies Jeep and is temporary, I'll be going to aluminum armor in the future.

He had limiting straps on it as well Jerry. To be honest, I’m not sure why he was doing what he was doing. Dave has a reason for doing everything he does, I should have picked his brain more.
