EVO Coilover install write-up?
Im Planning on installing off road evolution front bolt on coilovers next week. Instructions are pretty good but I know it'd help to have a good write up or video of the install. Anyone know of a good one on here? I've searched A LOT and can't find a good write up. Thanks!

Alright I'll post up some pics when I get em in. I've got a short arm lift so it'll be interesting to see if that effects the flex much. An old post from WOL said he didn't think it did do that's encouraging!

It shouldnt effect total flex just how easy it will flex. If you use a forklift it may not flex fully, but go out on a trail it will. I believe there coilovers are 12" travel. As for there directions your correct there pretty straight forward its a basic bolt on install for the most part, but i dont have any other write ups or links. Theres possibly some on wol or project-jk....

correct.....hell probably get more help there. i have no experience with there stuff and never will. Theres also probably about 75% more people running that set up over there. i never said he had to, but his odds are better. personally i will not be going over there to look for him, there may be more info on this site or from other members, but its not one i have a write up on or want to search for. Hopefully someone else from here can help him.

Thats your best bet to search for the info. it may be over there may not be. Hopefully someone else on this site has more info. Is there any particular things you were hoping to learn that the directions might have been a little basic on?

Any flex gained would be due to the extra length of the shocks. If replacing a 12" travel shock (with proper length coils) with a 12" coil over there should not be any gain in suspension travel.

Yeah I figured that out through my research and just messing around with my jeep. I'm really into the coilovers for their adjustability. I just didn't know if the shorter control arms would want to bind up with all that travel.
