As rcdude3 pointed out, RubiCAT still has all the rubicon parts and if/when we do upgrade the axles, we can sell the 44s to help fund 60s. Also, the rubicon has certain things we wanted that we couldn't get on an x like the electronic sway bar disco, the 4:1 transfer case, and the upgraded NAV stereo. To this day, Moby is still running the rubicon transfer case and the sway bar disco.

EVO Protek skids stayed without issue, except the exhaust skid which will not work with long arm kits, but the EVO Oil Pan and Transmission Skid are no issue. Works perfect with the kit.

Andrew, so there is no need for spacers or extensions if I get an aftermarket front drive shaft ?

Shag:

I am sure Andrew will jump in here but I have the EVO Enforcer kit which is an approx 4" lift and the EVO Protek skids on my 2012. The aftermarket front DS works perfectly without any need for modifying the exhaust (i.e. no spacers).

On the Friday before Moab EJS, Off Road Evolution finally got in the new EVO spec King coilovers that we had been waiting on to finish up their bolt-on coilover system. Below are some of the pics of the final install:

The new EVO spec King coilovers


The EVO upper reinforcement brackets for the rear coilovers


The complete rear EVO bolt-on coilover system - upper reinforcement brackets, rockstars and EVO spec King coilovers - Yes, it really is that simple!


Installing the rear coilovers




You can see the upper brackets just above the frame


The rear is finished


The new King bumps for the front


Cutting off the factory bump stop so that the new King bumps can be installed


The front with the new King bumps installed


Tires back on and ready to hit the ground


Testing out the EVO flex!
