Evo bolt on coilover install

Back to the coilovers...
Can some one tell me what the hell all this extra hardware is for??
This is what's left over from doing the rear??
They're there to mess with your head and make you feel like you've forgotten something :crazyeyes:
Seriously, the black long bolts were probably a mistake. The smaller zinc plated ones look like they are part of the upper bracket install but, assuming you have all the mounting holes covered, they are probably just extras. drew@offroadevolution or piginajeep can verify this.

Do you have the spacers in coilover mount at the rockstars? Is the bracket bolted through the side of the frame?(long black bolts)
If you have checked and everything is installed, then they sent extras by mistake.

Is the front install done? Did you mix the bolt bags up?

No shit man!! I was like "ok, you gotta be kidding me!"
I know in the destructions it said you could remove the body mounts if I wanted so I think that's what the small zinc plated ones are for. I kept the mounts.
The long black ones aren't long enough to go thru the frame on the top re enforcement bracket. Already got a bolt there.
Kings came with spacers that were too small the ones in the bag from evo are what I used.
Just wanted to double check cause damn that's a lot of extra hardware! Like enough for a bracket somewhere
Here's a crappy pic of the CRC link with the CO's.
Plenty of room!
The black Allen head bolts are old hardware when king didn't ship the upper mounts attached to the c/o. The 4 x 5/16th grade 8 are for the flange mount that would go under the 07-11 body mounts, the 12 and up don't have the body mounts so you use those bolts in its place.
I had to call drew and ask because I didn't know too. The others I am not sure about. I didn't get the spacers in my package so I had to use washers on the bottom to make up the space.

Makes sense now, thanks!
Yeah the kings had spacers zip tied to the bottom mounts but they were too small, evo thru in the right ones to make it fit nice n snug.

If you buy them as is, They are (at least were) 3". But if you call ORE before placing your order, they can set you up with different sizes.
Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to figure out if I can make the EVO fronts work on my jeep. A 2 inch spacer is all I need for interferance clearance. I'm currently running 4.5 inch springs with 12 inch travel bilstein shocks that I have to use 3 inch spacers because of the shock's compressed length. I can gain 1 inch of up travel with new shocks. But that seems like a waste of $$ on shocks if I can put those $$ towards EVO coilovers.
If anyone has a chance, could you measure from the top of the frame to the top of the coilover tower? I removed the stock battery tray a long time ago and I wonder if I need to move my steel box up.

So quick question. I skimmed over this thread but didn't see anything mentioned. Before I go ahead and modify this bracket. Has anyone heard of having to modify the lower shock bracket to work with a Dynatrac axle? Looks like I'll have to notch the bracket so that it will line up with the shock hole.

You will have to, the Dyntrac is beefier and different size than the factory.

Why are you installing those with the dynatrac? The shock mounts on the dynatrac axle are already pushed out. You dont need those brackets with a dynatrac. Just bolt the coilovers right to the axle mounts.
