After testing out several bolt on lift kits, from budget boosts to 4" complete systems, we decided to finally take the plunge and go with something that required a bit more modifying. Initially we were going to add the EVO system after we had gone to a long arm kit, but as a test, we decided to try it out with our current short arm TeraFlex 4" lift. So, last week we had Off Road Evolution install their EVO front coil over system and EVO Lever rear coil over system on our JK and in hopes to answer some questions here is an overview of the process.

• Starting with the front, the first step is to cut off the upper spring perch and shock mount No going back now








It goes pretty fast with a plasma cutter

• The next step is to grind down the rough edges to smooth out the frame and get it ready for welding




• Now we are ready to weld on the new EVO shock mounts




• Here is the top mount (aka - the Cobra)




• The bottom mount


• Next, line up the bump stop bracket and weld it to the frame






• A little bit of trimming needs to be done on the lower spring mount so that the shock will clear


• Time to install the coil over and bump stop


• Drill and tap to relocate the brake line bracket


• Line up and weld on the brackets for the shock reservoirs




• Install longer sway bar links to allow for greater articulation


• Mount the shock reservoirs


• All done!


Out on the trail






After testing the EVO coil over system both on and off road, I have to say that it provides an outstanding ride and amazing stupid crazy flex!

Next up....the EVO Lever rear coil over system.

 

thats crazy, Looks and flex's nice..

Nice welds too!

 

So you did get the coil overs on with the short arms?

 

yup, thought we would give it a try to see how it works. right off the bat, it gives about as much if not more flex than most long arm kits and way more than some like the RE long arm kit. it's simply amazing what you can do with short arms

 

Hands down the best suspension mod on my JK to date. If you have the cash the ride is phenomenal and the flex on the rocks is outstanding.

 

That's some ridiculous FLEX!

 

I know you said before, you didn't really see the need for long arms. do you still feel the same .way. jk short arms are really not that short.

 

YOWZAA COST?

 

Did you keep the full traction control arms or swap the out?

 

Those offroad evolution guys can do some good work with metal.
