EVO Enforcer
Hello. I just ordered an Evo enforcer lift. I am "upgrading" from a Full Traction 3" economy lift.
What experiences have you guys had with this particular lift? Did you take it to an alignment shop after installation to set the caster?
Lastly, what shocks are you running? Any reviews running with King, Bilstein or Rancho?
Thanks in advance!

I installed this kit in February and absolutely love it. I took it to Moab and it performed great! Tons of flex and rides like a dream on the road. Not sure if you have specific questions or not, but feel free to PM me if you want.
A few things:
1) It drove perfectly after install. I did take it to the alignment shop just to be sure, but I don't think he did much.
2) If you didn't already, get the draglink flip kit as well
3) I'd run extended brakelines over the extensions
4) Turn your rear passenger side trackbar bolt backwards (so the head is towards the front of the vehicle)
5) Watch your rear hard brake lines and the swaybar end link bolts. They came pretty close on mine so I moved the hardlines up. You could also cut the bolts a bit after install.
6) I went with King 2.5 shocks. I considered the Bilstein 5100s before I went "all in" as I heard those will pair nicely with this lift.
7) I don't think you have a 2012, but if you do make sure to move your evap skid over if you are running a stock rear DS.
Best of luck!
Here is a shot from Moab.

Looking forward to hiring some trails. It is also just a holdover until I upgrade to some coilovers

We suggest having the alignment check after the install.
please let me know if you have any questions!

I'd love to see some pics of this lift with 35" tires and stock flares.
It is definately on my short list when I upgrade, I can only seem to find pics of this lift with 37" tires which I won't be running.

It's a great lift! You'll be hard pressed to beat EVO quality and service. One nice thing is you can run 35s and then upgrade to 37s by either running flat flares or changing the bump stops.
