EVO Leveling Kit

MountainRambler · Feb 1, 2014

Hello Wayalifers I got a question for you. :standing wave: Anybody here running the EVO leveling kit with King 2.0 Shocks? If so what are your thoughts about it? I'm looking for a small lift with good soft feel to it. I also plan on running 35'' Nitto Trail Grapplers with flat fenders do any of you with experience think I will have any issues with tire rub at full flex?:thinking:

I have the evo leveling kit, but only have the front plush coils installed, I don't have the spacer installed in the rear. The plush coils are awesome! I have my stock rubi shocks, not the kings tho sorry. I have 315/70 and cut fenders, heres a pic. I can flex it tomorrow and post a pic

This isn't a very popular kit yet so you may have trouble finding many running it.

Nice Looking Rig! :thumb:
Thanks for posting this up, I want to do a similar build. A flex shot would be awesome if you have time. The main reason I was considering the kings is mine has the stock Sahara shocks which are not as good as the stock Rubi Shocks. One more question are you still running your stock gears on those 315/70 tires?

pvanweelden · Feb 1, 2014

Thanks! Yes running the stock 4.10 gears, but I have a manual. With the stock 32's it felt like I was barely using first gear.

In my build thread I talk about it but for ease...It'll be stiffer but for the better. The Jeep handles everything in a lot more level/balanced manner. I don't have the king shocks as the price is just ridiculous as I am not keeping the kit for the life of my Jeep. With the Fox Factory Performance series I have been really happy with it. I do have the spacers installed and I went 3" longer then stock in the front and 1" longer shocks in the rear. I needed to get drop brackets for my brake lines :shock: (Done). Here's a couple screen shots from my dusty gopro...

So I'm curious, did you get 2" of lift from the 2" Plush rides, or 1.5"? I'm considering this kit also, as there is not much in the way of softer than stock coils in the 2 inch lift range. How would those who are running this kit say the ride is compared to stock (softer, stiff ride, etc)?

MountainRambler · Feb 1, 2014

Thanks for the pics and video :thumb:, I'm sold on this kit now. I plan on getting it and installing it this Spring.

I put bumper and winch on 7 year old stock coils and was at 8.5" instead of 9.375" stock coil height (there's a diagram on here somewhere that Eddie posted that shows stock coil height at 9.375")
With the evo coils I am at 10.5" so I gained 2", but only really 1.125" lift over stock- but with a bumper and winch.
The ride is much improved over the stock coils- a lot smoother ride.
I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone over a spacer lift to gain 2" in the front and an inch in the back.

Looking for updates on this kit.

I am contemplating between doing this or going bigger with the EVO 35 Enforcer. I know they are two completly different animals. The fact is that my JK gets less then 7K miles and only a handful of light wheeling trips each year. So I am not sure I can justify the added expenses associated with the Enforcer.

Ideally I looking for improved on road manners and clearence for 315/70/17 Duratracs.

Thanks

Old thread and was just curious on my options. I have a 2.5" BB not installed. Also, thinking about EVO level kit. I now have 18/59's with two 1" pucks in front and one 1" in the rear. I measured all points. My shocks are 21", my coils are 12" and my rear is 6 5/8". I know I would get a better ride with the Plush...per reviews and testimonials of members. So per measure it seems my rig is sitting at what would be a 2.5" in the front. Now I am wondering if I should just go for the EVO's and maybe gain a little more? You guys with the EVO kit did you gain more than advertised? I do have a heavy bumper and winch as well. It does not seem I would gain anything with the BB. I would like to go to 35's in the future. I was working on a trade for my top with some tires, but now it looked like it fell through. So, I am back to dream stage. Love to here some views.

I went from a similar set up on my JK, running some stiff 18/59 springs to the EVO level. I gained much more clearance, actually had to add a 2" spacer in the rear to level it out.

The ride is definitely improved, you can tell a difference for sure.

For the price, and simplicity of this kit it cannot be beat.

Not exactly apples to apples comparison. But it's all I've currently got on my phone.

18/59 springs

EVO leveling kit, and 2" rear spacers

So are you more concerned about ride quality or ride hight? Just trying to make sure i understand.
Cause you said you already have what your running, a 2.5 BB, and you're STILL considering the Evo lvl? All of that just seems like money you could be saving for other stuff that could just be saved up for a better lift like the 3" enforcer.

I do not have a BB installed yet I have a leveling kit with 4 door springs
