Default EVO JK Rock Stars

Just curious if anyone else has installed them. If so, any thoughts on the install process?

I got all the other suspension work done tonight that I planned so that in the morning I'll start the Rock Star install. I'm thinking a hand held band saw will be the easiest way to make a clean cut off of the factory rear shock bracket? Do you really need to cut off the rear sway bar bracket or can it remain? Looks like the Rock Star goes around the outside of it - just from eye balling it.

I had the Rock Stars on my '07. Not sure, but I think they may have changed the design a little since then.

As I did the install, yes, the stock sway bar bracket must come off also. Here's a list of pictures of the passenger side install progress then a picture of both sides. You really gain a lot of new clearance with these, and the workmanship on them is excellent. I'm really impressed with Andrew and the EVO products.

Part 2 of 2 pictures:

Note that I sleeved the brake line on each side as they almost touch the relocated shock, that way there will never be an issue with rubbing/wear.
