EVO Draglink Flip
yeah, I wish I could do that. theres no room in there. My "temp" setup actually failed, and the jks holding pin snapped. I fixed it with flipping what side of the bracket the link is on, and putting a 2" 1/2" bolt through to secure everything. but obviously that bolt is going to destroy the bushing on the jks link over time, and its not quick disco since I need to get a wrench and ratchet to remove. called both the vendor i bought from and evo, and sent these pictures (almost a month ago). never heard back
not to beat around the bush, but I called andrew already, and talked with him. without seeing pictures, he was under the impression I had the wrong bracket, but a few other folks who have bought this confirmed the kit I have is right. do you see something specific in the picture that is wrong? he told me to send pictures and talk to the vendor I bought the kit through, and I already sent these pictures. never heard back. i have no problem calling back, I just want to know the basics; am I missing a piece, or is there a modification I need to make, or a specific quick disconnect to buy?

I'm installing this Friday...since I already have the purejeep truss, I.have to cut the bracket already and welding it, I may see if I can cut on the link side and avoid this issue. I'll let you know.
The Evo Flip I installed was for the factory D-44, but it was completely different than what you pictured. It provided a new mounting location for the sway-bar links, about four inches higher than original, driver and passenger sides, I was originally going to cut my Rancho links down and sleeve them back together. With the rubicon, however, I could see this causing issues with the sway-bar reversing under flex, so for the moment I am going to leave the links disconnected. A Currie will be in my future.
FWIW, My Evo kits (Gussets, sleeves, Draglink flip) have all been awesome quality, and fit great.

I have the EVO draglink flip kit installed and my bracket is quite a bit different than what is in your pictures. Let me know if it will help and I'll snap a pic tomorrow in the light.

Unless there are different versions I would say you appear to have the wrong bracket.
Edit: I see you have the PR44 and it is likely a different version. Sorry I am of no help.

This thread should be titled Brand X Lift, ProRock44, JKS Swaybar Links and EVO PR44 Draglink flip. There is alot of manufacture overlap going on here and therefore not everything is designed around eachother.

I just finished installing the drag link flip kit last week. I've had the kit in my garage for over a year but have just now had time to install it. The one I purchased had sway bar link risers which I did not want to use originally, but decided to use eventually. Without the risers, my JKS links would not work. You have the sway bar link pin on the wrong side of the bracket, and if it's on the inside, it is impossible to add the link. I suppose EVO can suggest some sway bar links that will work with the setup, and I'd be interested in that information as well. You can look at my pics to see how the sway bar pin orientation is supposed to be.
I am happy so far with my kit even though I had to do some modifications to get the kit to work (notch out of my EVO c gusset on the driver's side, notch out of the driver's side link riser bracket to avoid tie rod interference, and notch out of passenger side sway bar riser bracket to allow proper link travel).
Good luck getting it sorted out!

so, to bump this back up. I know JKforum is full of folks who love evo, and who love prorocks. I can't be the only person to buy both. anyone know how to get a quick disconnect to work with this shit? pretty pissed. some pictures to show the quality of the fitment, and the issues I'm having




now, maybe it's a problem with my swaybar? Not sure if mines just out of line, but this is my temp fix.


would love to hear what other folks have done
