Is there something about this kit that requires the 3.75" or less backspacing? I'm just curious because 4.5" or less seems to be the norm with many lifts.

I have no idea but from what Eddie posted

Notes:

• Recommended wheel backspacing 3.75” or less (smaller backspacing #)
• 2-Door JK: Front and Rear Aftermarket Driveshaft Required
• 4-Door JK: Front Aftermarket Driveshaft Required, Rear Recommended

you need the extra space to help clear the front coil over tower at a full flex. the amount of stuff you get with this kit is significant and a set of 12.50 wide tire or wider will rub them with anything more than 3.75". we are running atx slabs and they have 3.5" of back spacing and so we clear without any problems.

^^^ Good to know, thanks! Now I don't have to feel bad about selling my brand new wheels with my Jeep. I was actually thinking of maybe saving them but now I won't.

^^^ Mickey Thompson Classic Locks in Black. I'll snap a quick pic.

I also finally replaced my broken windshield after three years.

So to be clear, is it only the front that has a the clearance issue with the backspacing? I have new wheels with 4.75 (per the Method Wheel website). Only 3k miles on them so would hate to have to sell.

If so I could do the rear kit only for now. That seems to be what rides bad. My front works ok.

yes, the clearance issue is only with the front.
 
Kit looks awesome and after all of the pictures of RubiCAT, I think I've finally settled on a setup! :rock:

It looks like in the picture on EVO's website that the rear trackbar bracket is included with the rear kit... Can Eddie confirm? The kit looks much more complete than I expected (brackets and coilovers only)... Thanks EVO! :thumb:

Ordered them up. Looks like I am gonna need to add spacers as my Pintlers are 4.75" backspacing. Anyone know if there are any issues with running spacers with the heavy Toyo 37s as that is what I am going to go to.
:thinking:

i wasn't sure what all would come with the kits but, by the look of the press release, yes, it does come with one. i will try to confirm as much tomorrow.

you should be fine. i've run walkers with 1.5" spidertrax spacers and never had any problems.

I'd be very interested to find out if there is a base kit Evo would offer that would take you from a stock unlifted JK to their bolt on coil over configuration. Control arms etc.

Combine the kit with the Enforcer kit (plus draglink flip, minus shocks) and you pretty much have a sweet base level coilover kit.

I'm in a similar situation to you and given that this bolt-on kit comes with all of the basics (e.g. Sway Bar End Links, Brake Line Extensions, etc), here's what I'm planning to do...

-EVO Bolt-On Coilover Kit
-EVO Adventure Front Lower Control Arms (Short Arms)
-EVO Drag Link Flip Kit
-Front Drive Shaft

From the sounds of it, these items are the necessities... :twocents:

I just wish I had the money now... :thinking:

That will work. If you want long arms, get the Double D kit.
