Awesome, so hows about some feed back? Ride quality, Height gain, difficulty, product quality and possibly some extras to buy with the kit ? Did you end up using the 1inch spacer from TF in the rear instead?

Feedback:
  • Ride quality is great. The EVO coils have a smooth feel. They are a little taller, but have several more coils.
  • Prior to the lift I had 36" from the bottom of the fender flare to the ground. After I had 37.5" in front and 37" in the rear. I gained 1.5" in front and 1" in the rear.
  • I tore the apart the suspension on my '07 JK several times. If you are semi-mechanically inclined then this should be an easy upgrade, with a few hand tools and jack stands.
  • EVO products are all top quality and made in the U.S.A.
  • For this small of a lift no extras are needed.
  • I used the TeraFlex 1" spacer for the rear. I did not order the 3/4" spacers that come with the full EVO kit.
  • I installed this kit by myself and it took about 3.5 hours, without rushing.

Thanks for the feedback. So the leveling kit is very subtle but effective?
