Evo bolt on coil overs
- Thread starter jkpete
- Start date
Honestly, I've personally installed and run a lot of different lifts and have tested out a myriad of other kits as well and nothing, and I mean nothing even comes close to the EVO bolt on coilover kit. The only thing better out there is the EVO Double Throwdown kit but that's some real money right there. If you're considering it, I would definitely do it. :yup:

Awesome. Thanks for the input guys. I was already leaning towards the coil overs and now I am for sure it is what I am going to do. I just ordered my drag link flip kit and will be ordering driveshafts next week. Then after the first of the year I'll order the coil over kit. Any input on what drive shaft company. I have been leaning towards the je reel 1350s.
We've run a lot of shafts over the years and JE Reel is always what we run now. One of the few companies that use high quality, made in the USA Neapco u-joints instead of cheap Chinese ones and without it having to be ordered as an upgrade.
I would recommend a set of Currie rear upper arms or a set that has Johnny joints or the like on both ends. This is what Off Road Evolution uses with their kits and anything less will lead to blown out bushings.

Go hit some whoops at 40 and it will be soft.
X2.....there are 2 guys in my club that are rethinking their builds after our trip to Moab. We were hitting whoops at 40+ with my coilovers without feeling a thing while the other jeeps were bouncing around and about throwing their passengers out!!

How is your jeep set up? Running a rear bumper? Spare tire?
What tires and PSI are you running?

It is about 3.5 " of lift running 28 psi in 37" toyo mts. No rear bumper or spare at the moment. It rides down the road like my little Honda. Lol. I talked to Andrew over there today and he said it may need nitrogen in the shocks. So that is the plan for tonight. I'm running short arms with Evo adjustable lower front arms.

stick with talking to Andrew he will get it riding smooth. Bumper and a spare would help as well.
