What you want is what EVOlander had installed for the JKX. I don't know if it's available for sale as a product per se but, I'd be willing to bet that they could hook you up if you ask
Was there any downsides to being as low as it is on the JKX? It sure looks awesome...I know different situations the lower the belly the more you could get hung up but was it much of a problem?

How low can the bolt on kit be as is? Can it be 2.5"?

Drew - here's what I'm thinking...
Coil overs that can be set for +1 to +3 height increase (hopefully raising lowering is relatively easy)
33-35" tires, I like the stock wheel look, or bead lock wheels
Trying to keep weight out of the build, will be adding a cage, winch
Thinking of moving the spare in doors, at the tub height, so I have luggage space underneath
Goal is solid high speed handling on and off road, more suspension compliance then stock
80% on road and easy off road exploring, 20% rock crawling (time permitting)
Starting with a 13 2dr Rubicon, 6spd, soft top
Any ideas on losing deadweight considered. Need the suspension to work crushing down the highway @85mph, AND crawling rocks @ 2mph..
Thx!
The LCG Bolt-On kit will sit anywhere from 3.5" to 5.5" of actual lift. Running this with a smaller tire like a 33" will "LOOK" higher.
My thoughts are if you are looking for a lower ride height and great performance, I would go with the ENFORCER 3" and KING 2.5 w/ Compression Adjusters. This will give you the great ride on the highway as well as off the highway. It just seems to me that in your description of what you are looking for, the coil-overs may have you sitting higher than you want to sit.
Ok, can the enforcer be bought as a 2" rise? Can' the coil overs be made shorter, to fit the lift I'm looking for?
The ENFORCER can be bought as a 3" or a 4" lift (3.5" / 4.5" on 2DR)
as I mentioned earlier in the thread, the LCG coil-over can be ran lower like EVOLander but that HAS to be done HERE at Off Road Evolution. We custom fabricate lower shock mounts so that the vehicle can sit at about 2". The coil-over can not be made "shorter' for this kit.
That is what I'm looking for, like your Evolander build.... without the 37"......�� My goal is to build a capable vehicle that works well with the Dana 44's..

Bring it here and we can do it for you... Those brackets will NOT be sold and shipped...

Icon bolt on coilovers range from 1 to 4 inches. Thats the route Im going with to keep my Jeep low. 3 to 4 inches is way to high for me.
It may or may not be a mistake. Im willing to gamble since I can easily return to stock.
Im currently trying to decide if I should pair them with the double D long arm kit or metalcloak arms. I might even try the double D arms will duroflex bushings. I like that the are adjustable on vehicle and upgradeable to high clearance setup.

If a 3" lift is way too high for you why would you buy a long arm kit?

Agreed. Long arms would make no sense at all and I don't think they would provide any benefit.

Because icon suggested it. Along with AEV drop brackets.

Even with 2 - 2.5" lift a long arm will do no harm, still provide more potential flex than short arm, and allow me the ability to change my mind to go with a higher lift in future.

Long arm won't give you more flex.
