MetalCloak RockSport Slate Rear Shocks (pair) – 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL+RockSport Slate Rear Shocks are long travel rear shocks designed as part of the MetalCloak “tuned” suspension. The twin-tube design combines smooth operation on asphalt with control on bumps and at high deflection.
A built-in outboard top mount helps maintain correct geometry and clearance around the mounts, while reinforced ends and an 18mm chrome piston rod aim for off-road durability.

CompatibilityJeep Wrangler JL 2018+PositionRear (Rear) – pairConstructionTwin-tube, long travel, with built-in outboard mountsEasy installation – 1-2 h – no body modificationsMain benefitsLong travel and comfortable operation – stable in daily driving and “confident” in high articulation.
Valving sized to work with MetalCloak True Dual Rate Coils springs – consistent car behavior throughout the suspension’s range of operation.
Dual-tube design with inner working tube and outer reserve tube – shielding the working part and repeatable damping.
Built-in outboard top mount – improved alignment, ground clearance and camber operation.18 mm chrome-plated piston rod – greater resistance to load and wear.
Double-welded eyelets and natural rubber bushings – durable attachment and better vibration and road “roughness” selection.
