I've been looking at the posts on here with JKs and the EVO coilovers and have noticed they are mostly on the Unlimited JKs. Is there a reason for this or are they just more popular? I mean, are there significant drawbacks to running the coilovers front and rear on a 2 door JK? I wouldn't want to run larger than 40" tires, probably not larger than 37s. I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row on what will/will not work on a 2 door vs 4 door before making a purchase.

Thanks!

 

Evolution has done a 2 door but I havent seen any pictures of it. This system on a 2 door would kick ass! The best thing to do would be to call Mel at Off Road Evolution and let him tell you about it! If/when you go this route make sure to post some pictures!

 

I'd like to gander at some pics of a two-door with the entire EVO setup myself.

 

40s on a 2 door, can you say top heavy

 

In a couple days I will be purchasing the FT " LA with front EVO coilovers. I don't have the funds for the rear yet. I have a 2dr Rubicon and only plan on going to 37's. I'll post pics once complete.

 

can you say who cares. tjs are running 40in + tires all the time whf you so worried about?

 

Going to do a 4dr that has a 6" FT LA and is going to EVO 14" Coilover , EVO Rear. Has 37's now and all the 2Drs with 37" look good and wheel good. Whats 3iches I geuss.

Technically it would be 1.5" taller is all. Every 1" you go up in tire size only nets you 1/2" under the axle.

I've seen a lot of TJs with 40s and even 44s! Since their axles are more narrow and, if I'm not mistaken, their wheelbase is minimally shorter - should be fine on a JK, right?

Just trying to work out a few bugs before purchasing a JK in the next few months.

 

There are guys out there wheeling Izuzu Trooper's and K5's and you're calling a JK too top heavy.
A JK is wider and longer, its probably proportional to a TJ but could be built very stable.

A TJ on 42's with full widths and about and a couple inches of lift with a 112 wheel base is more stable than a factory one, I would know, I have one.
Does anyone offer a rear kit that stretches the WB or does everyones stuff a add on to a long arm kit?

 

Rock Krawler has a long arm stretch kit, but you need to comp cut the corners to make it work.
