Default evo lever question

can not find specific info if it will work with a rock krawler set up, website says some modification is needed. What needs to be modified? Is it done at evo before the system is shipped? Are they talking about the 3link rear or the rock krawler system in general?

Hmmmm, that is a very difficult one to answer. In fact if the answer is not coming from "Off Road Evolution" (Mel W) or "Andrew@EVOMFG" here on the forum, I don't know that I would take it as factual. The two listed forum members are the owner and shop representative and the true gurus. Sorry I have not helped answer your question. I have the system, it is the best I have run in my 30 plus years offroad time, but somewhat of a complicated design compared to other traditional set-ups.

Give it just a little time, from what I gather by following EVO's facebook wall, the guys are busy finishing the build of Falken Tire's race car, getting EVO1 ready, and pre-run testing both for King of Hammers. Plus they have a ton of daily business on all the other customer rigs I am sure. Don't be afraid to call them direct either

I am not upset that I havent recieved an email back. I figured they are crazy busy, which is why I havent just called. Was thinking of just going to visit a friend in cali and just stopping by the shop. When faced with spending almost 10 grand with a company I have a ton of questions. I do all my own work and welding, have for years, so I am always looking for ideas and answers.

Default They are usually busy....

....however, give them a call! Or drive on in to SoCal and check them out. With the amount of money I spent with them I had the same idea you are now having. Even after I followed them building WoL's Moby and seeing all the magazine articles written about work that was completed in their shop, I wanted to actually see some of the work first hand. Mel W. gave me a personal tour of everything they were currently working on, was open and honest about anything you could ask. Phoenix has lots of offroad race shops, non however do that great of a job on JK's. Off Road Evolution is the real deal. Just look at how many rigs from around the world get sent there for the full meal deal! I say go visit just to see the greatest JK's being built

The EVOLever will not work with a 3-Link Rear Suspension Setup. It would have to be converted to a 4-link system. If the kit you are refering to is not the 3-Link kit then there is no issues.
