‘18 recon build

[Emptybrass]

Also I found my err Tera... budget boost at my shop. I just can’t do it. Not even until I get whichever lift kit I decide to go with.

That’s pretty much what I’m going for. Sorry to copy, it’s hard to spend 2x the money for the same look but I do like the function. A guess a fool and his money so to speak. Is there anything else needed that does not come in their kit besides a driveshaft?

All included in their evo enforcer Pro stage 2 as I have. Front drive shaft was the only thing I added. Not really needed at 3-3.5 of lift but good to have. Other good thing is you can go from 3-5” as you need. If you add more weight just change out coils and your on your way again. Shocks are all rebuildable etc. it was a lot of money but for me it was my only choice.

I did order a set of hood decals. He sent me a rendering but I’ll wait until I have them to post a picture of. Pretty excited about this...

Not to take anything away from Gobicons coilovers, but they are a bit overkill for living in the Midwest. I went back and forth and ended up going with the King 2.5 adjustable paired with the AEV lift that I already had. (I wouldn’t do the AEV lift if I had to do it all over again. I would have done the 4” enforcer). I went that route for a couple of reasons. Midwest jeeping is slow compared to out west were you can get the full affect of them. Coilovers require a bit more maintenance and attention than a spring and shock combo. And the salt in our part of the world would wreck those beautiful pieces of jewelry. Just my 2 cents, but there’s a couple guys that went from coilovers back to shocks. They may chime in at some point.

The king 2.5s adj are awesome. When the roads get torn up like they are right now with the freeze thaw cycles, I drop them down to 1 on the roads and it smooths it out. Summer time I keep them at 8-10 and it is very stable at speed

I’m on the east coast. That’s the only reason I haven’t done it. I don’t want to worry about taking them off for a rebuild every year or two

for the enforcer 3" factory style lift ( not coil overs) Is the stage 2 a better option? are the rear UCAs needed or desired?

edit: spelling

So after talking and reading what other people have done. I think I’m going to go with the 3” enforcer lift. Really like the coil over setup but there seems to be a few drawbacks for rigs that do more highway blasts then trail duty. Before I order, is it worth getting the adjustable kings over the non? I mean is it worth the extra $400 for all 4?

I love mine. It’s great having the ability to dial the ride based off the conditions.

So I had about an hour to spare this afternoon. Got my switch thing mounted. Not really digging it but we shall see.

Also worked on the people mover and auxiliary fuse box

So this happened today. Walked to a local Jeep place looking at real life lift sizes and tire combos. Walked out a few hundred lighter in the wallet. Guess I will have to call exodus soon to order the lift. Still can’t decide on the 3 or 4 inch.



When in doubt, throttle out.

Got the jw speaker tail lights today. Install was super easy. Much brighter then factory. Downside (so far) can not use the tail light guards with it. Going to see if longer screws can fix it.

I️ kept the tail light Guards. Got longer screws at the local hardware store. You’ll love them.
