WAYALIFE is personally responsible for most of us spending more money then we had planned and changing what we have already done. Dam you WAYALIFE ( LOL ).

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO agree with this statement!!! :cheesy:
We were just gonna do a few "essentials" Rock slides, 2.5BB, 35" tires, floor mats, and a CB....then go exploring AZ back country.
BUT NOOOOOOOO:naw: We watch a few of his videos and get on here and read, read, and read some more and get SUCKED into the "Way Of Life" known as JEEP. Now we are trying to find ways to cut our food bill (poor grandson just hates Top Ramen
) but he must contribute to the cause!!!I will have a Bad A$$ jeep if it means we all skip one meal a day!!!:rock:

ChrisB,
Did you add the Coilover setup to your stock Jeep or did you have another lift on it already? Do you feel you need to go to Long Arms for any particular reason? I am wondering because if I invest in this set-up I'd rather not feel as if I need to keep adding to it...cuz there is so much other stuff to buy
like you said AXLES.Donny

:cheesy: Ok I'll just let you ask and read all the posts.
I was in the PC support biz for a while and I always told people there is no such thing as a stupid question! If you don't know then ask. :thumb: It's better than being ignorant! :beer:

I have been seriously considering the TerraFlex 2.5 lift with springs and shocks. I want to throw 35s under the jeep and this lift should cover me for all the trails we run in Colorado. I have heard pretty good things about the TerraFlex lift and it's only about $750 - $800 from the shopping I've done.
I definitely would like to go with with a EVO long arm kit maybe the DTD and 37s down the road but I'm not ready for the financial commitment to all the other upgrades I will need to cope with the larger tire size. I am running a 2012 6spd manual Rubicon JKU with 4.1 gears and 32s. I'm in the green with 35s but once I step up to 37s I will probably be best to re-gear according to the chart below. Plus strengthen the drive line components. :thinking:
I figure once the kids get a little older we will start doing those heavier mods. And eventually make it out to WOL's part of the world!

I believe he had a Full Traction 3" lift before but it could have been any standard coil/shock setup. There's just no comparison from them to a coil over setup. Regarding long arms, when you get up into the 4" range, your suspension geometry will be off enough that it will start to show itself in your ride quality. Long arms will correct your geometry and make your ride really nice especially on pavement or driving hard and fast in the desert.
Are you asking about the EVO lever? If so, it's a great design that allows you to mount your coil overs horizontally instead of vertically and does so by utilizing a cantilever system. By doing this, you can run an 8" coil over and still get 14" of vertical travel and keep everything out of harms way. :yup:
No. What you are paying for is the EVO lever frame, cantilevers and links that coil overs are attached to. Without them, you would not be able to run coil overs horizontally or see any of the benefits from them. The front coil overs are mounted in a more traditional up and down configuration.
Correct. If in the future you want to upgrade to a full Double Throwdown triple bypass setup, you can with ease :yup:

I had a 3" fulltraction kit as mentioned. Good kit, but it performs no where close to what coilovers do. There are definetly reasons like Wayalife mentioned to upgrade to a long arm and I will eventually. Just not right away. It will be before I install 60's.

Thanks guys,
Kelli and I have decided to add the front and back coilover kits to our build list. It seems like it will be overkill do to the limitations of my D30 but that will be gone as soon as we can save up for a PR44, since we want to run 37's. I was just trying to make sure if I dial it in at 3.5” on my stock equipment that I would realize a better performance return for the money. If I only intend to ever get to 37’s I just didn’t want to over buy if the Enforcer would give me equal results. So Coilover Kits front and back it is:thumb:

EVO Enforcer is not getting much love in this thread. Why is that? It's a pretty big $$$ jump from Enf to Coilover, right. Is the performance dif as noticeable as you say WOL, ChrisB etc.
My goal is to get to 37s and maybe some PR44 or beef up my stock Dana 44s on the RU. Not sure the best way to get there as a 10K+ pop all at once is a hard pill to swallow. :crazyeyes:

The Enforcer kit is a great kit and in my opinion, the best around when it comes to standard coil/shock suspension systems. It's all about budget and what people can afford or are willing to spend. It's definitely not for everyone but, if you can afford more and are willing to spend it, a coil over set up is the way to go.
