Thanks for the advice, but I am going to go ahead and ship this entire kit back and pay for the shipping. I have decided to go with the EVO Enforcer 3"
Thanks

Jim,

Your are not understanding his advice. He is telling you that if the mounting brackets for the lower control arms were drilled to a larger diameter to accommodate the cam bolts, then you will need to use washers or weld up the new gaps so the original hardware will fit again.

If your lower bolt holes look like this, don't leave it that way. Fix it right as mentioned above.

I get the impression that Jim didn't actually install the lift

Thank you for the clarification, but I guess I was being really clear. I am shipping the RE Express kit back and thankfully I found this forum the night before having it installed.

You are correct, I have not installed the kit. I got very fortunate and found the WAL forums before doing so. Thank God.. Sorry for any confusion.

Might want to consider 17" wheels, because there are more options than the 18". Just a thought.

Also, I spoke to ORE and they suggested I go with a 4". I explained to them that I have a family of 5 and two dogs. I am also adding front and rear bumpers, tire carrier, winch, etc...... Lots of weight adding to my JKUR.

I still haven't decided on my lift, but just wanted you to think of what you will be doing with your Jeep.

He real reason to go 17 over the 18 is that tire prices are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper in a 17" size.

I gotcha and yes I did notice the prices were a little hire, but I already have the new wheels and tires sitting in my garage waiting for me to purchase a lift. Hahaha I tried calling ORE yesterday to order the kit, but the were already closed, so I guess I will have to wait until Monday to order. For some reason their website won't accept my order because it keeps saying to contact ORE to complete my order.:spock: I hope this isn't a sign of things to come in the future.

It is not. Off Road Evolution is the real deal, very helpful. They want to talk to you first before taking your money to ensure the kit is right for your situation.

Here is what they did for me:
