if i'm understanding what you are trying to say, yes. also, there is only one company that i know of who is making something like you are describing but even at that, it is little more than a work around to a problem as opposed to being a better solution.

test it out?? don't get me wrong but this is a coilover kit that requires you to do a lot of hacking and welding. in other words, there is no turning back if you later find that your tests are less than stellar. likewise, just because it "looks sick" or that you have "seen" a similar kit run on a dodge truck doesn't mean that this kit will be "awesome" on a JK. contrary to what you seem to understand, coilover kits are very difficult to dial in and just because it comes complete doesn't mean that it'll even offer a decent ride on the highway. of course, being that it uses a radius arm design, your flex would be limited as well or at least when compared to a 4-link setup. while you may see people trying to bring the OP down, i see people with real experience trying to offer sound advice. and, when it comes to something as expensive and extensive as a coilover kit, i would think that everyone would be grateful for this kind of advise. but hey, that's just me.

 

Have never used FT personally so I won't say anything negative about them, but I don't recommend you spending your hard earned money to "test them out" per say on a system this advanced. Personally I'd recommend you research (as you are) on the very limited JK coilover systems available now and research the feedback on what's hotornot as you've seen in the replies on your thread. Never boil it down to "a" system because it looks neato or someone says it's crap or this one is better, rather...research for genuine feedback like this site and others as well as just searching online can offer. It costs nothing to ask questions and inquire on capabilities, longevitiy, dependability, ride, etc, especially on a system that averages $3-$5k (just for the front). My reply is unbiased on any system whether mentioned in this thread or not, but you have been given some great advice from everyone.

Good luck chief!

 

BUY IT! lets see it in action.....

 

Do your research in the field too...Go to Moab and talk to the guys who have them-see them in action. Along the way you might have a little fun too.

 

Sorry no one got to your other post but people love to get on here and argue their point. Nothing wrong with that but sometimes posts get overlooked.

Check this out to get it done right. http://www.offroadevolution.com/stor...d=EVO-COILOVER

about 2000-3000 for the front and 3000-5000 for the rear.

 

Going with coilovers is a huge step and I would consider the TYPE and AMOUNT of wheeling you do to see if you really need/want them. There are many lift kits that only improve the already great functionality of the factory coil spring system.
I have been driving and building Jeeps for over 20 years and coilovers are the latest craze that rock crawlers have borrowed from desert racers.

As has been said, spend a good amount of time behind the wheel off pavement to determine if the added benefit is worth the cost.

I have seen guys with less built Jeeps outdrive plenty of blinged out, high dollar rigs over and over again.

Of course, it's a free country and great Jeeps are built- not bought, as the saying goes.

 

OK

I have ordered the suspension on the 24th of February through Quadratec but have not received them yet!

FAB DIRT LOGIC 2.25 HYDRO BUMP STP KIT
FABTECH 5IN CRAWLER KT 07-08 JK 2DR DIRT
FABTECH COILOVER KIT 07-08 JK 5IN LIFT

I called the guys at Qtec and they said they will ship in a few days!
Once the parts come here, I will take pics of the install and post them up then a test in the dunes

I just hope that all this waiting is not for a waste coz no one has ever tried and wrote any kind of feedback on the product for the JK

 

I have a buddy thats been in the rock crawlin business for 20 years. I brought up the same feedback about Fabtech vs others. Mentioned that they seem to cater towards trucks and not Jeeps. He told me that he prefers Fabtech. Said they have a great research and development department and you wouldnt go wrong buying their products.
My 2 cents

Second thing, im torn between FT and Fabtech. When will EVO come out with a suspention system? Or can you order FT without the front springs shocks and get the EVO coilover.

 

You can order the FT with out the springs and shocks.

 

Cool ill have to look into it. Thinking i would want 4" FT LA with front coilovers by EVO
