C'mon income tax time, I see EVO in my future. I do not know if this has been answered, but can you run them with stock control arms? It is probably better with adjustable LCA's but with me it is always a cost issue. You know child support and growing kids cost money too lol.

If you have a 4-door, you will still need to install a set of front adjustable control arms but you can otherwise run it with all the factory control arms. If you have a 2-door, you will need to replace your rear drive shaft and so, you would need rear upper arms as well.

I just don't see how they expect people to pay what they're asking. You'd think they'd at least do a front+rear kit or combination deal.

looks to me that you've never priced out coil overs before. if you had, you'd know that the biggest part of the cost are the actual coil overs (kings are not cheap) and this was a real deal.

Will this coil over kit be good for desert driving , sand dunes and few jumps... Saying this just to compare with the EVO DTD for price and setup. As much as I would love to have the DTD setup I am leaning more to this coil over kit as in how simple it looks. Please advice

absolutely but, i do need to make it clear that it's no DTD with evo lever. with this kit, you can get going fast and hard and do all those things but, a DTD will get you going scary faster and hitting things much harder.

Another reason for this is that I have a 6.4 on my Rubi JKU and I'm looking at adding an auxiliary fuel tank in the rear and with the DTD cantilever kit I won't have much space for the tank. Thanx wayolife. I'm open for suggestions though.

If you order these you need to let us know about the extra weight.
