EVO Plush Ride

[Jeepfan30]

Bringing this back . I'm looking at buying the 3" plush ride springs and needed a Lil more feedback as to what else I would need besides shocks and disconnects

Or...if you are not going to be wheeling right away, skip the disconnects and brake lines and get front lower arms. That way you can install the coils and correct the caster, at least it will be a good daily driver. Without the disconnects your brake lines wont be in danger of over extending. Just another option for ya!

Do what theyre all saying. Save a bit more and get the enforcer, and a front driveshaft

Do you NEED the driveshaft or can you use the stock shaft?

If you actually wheel you will w the 3"enforcer. If your just daily driving it you may be alright. The issue becomes the steep angle your front drive shaft mates with your tcase (the rzeppa joint), it will fail eventually. Plus youll also probably rip the slipshaft boot.

Good point. As long as you don't disconnect you will be ok with the stock DS for awhile.

Edit: But what fun is staying connected!

Yea i mean, its not gonna fail instantly, but it will fail.

Awesome! Thankyou, the only reason I ask is I'm looking into EVO coils not the enforcer just coils right now so I'm curious if I do need the driveshaft and control arms or if I can slowly piece it together. I do some light wheeling mostly mall crawling though. Hahah

I would get front lowers right away at a minimum if you are going to install the 3" coils, otherwise your steering will be a little flighty. The other components mentioned can be added later, but you will want the front DS, bump stops and brake lines before wheeling.

I already have a jeep 3 inch lift with stock arms and an EVO drag link flip. My steering is fine can't complain since putting the drag link flip.

Whats your caster angle?

Noooo clue to be honest.

Even though you may think it drives fine, youll see a nice difference in the way it handle by getting adjustable LCAs and getting your caster set back close to factory.

I will definitely do so! It is in the plans for the jeep moving forward but the $$$ isn't there just et!

I ran a stock driveshaft for 60k miles. 52k on about 4" of lift and the rest on 3" of lift. It was still fine when I removed it.

Thanks overlander! What about control arms was that with the stock arms?

I have all eight aftermarket arms. Totally not necessary to have all eight.

So in your opinion for right now If I ran the plush rides it's not totally Necessary to run FLCA's? Or a front driveshaft?

I didn't say that. You need front lower arms, you don't need the rest.

Sweet, I appreciate the information thanks!
