Same here, there are no serious shops here in Northeast Pa either. It is a very daunting process to mod here if you can't do it yourself.

I had my lift and gears done at a friend of mine's shop. He does alot of specialty work, most of it is muscle cars, drag racing, and classic rebuilds. So when I approached him about doing my jeep he was more than willing but it was an education for him at the same time. The gears were no problem but doing the lift and more importantly dialing it in was a new experience.

If anyone in the Tri state Pa area is looking for someone to do your installs, let me know. They are in Northeast Pa where New York, New Jersey and Pa come together.

My JK has the weld in coils version it works well I went through the Sledge Hammer with the Teraflex lift and coils worked well. Equally my friend has the Evo set up and he made it through as well both systems kicked sledge hammers buns!

Both Rebel and Evo are fantastic shops. I have the Rebel brake kit and could not be happier. I have heard nothing but praise for both places. I'm sure that with either setup you will be good to go.

I live down the street from Rebel. Great shop, very knowledgeable. Heard nothing but good things about Offroad Evolution too (including from Rebel). You can't go wrong with either.

The only thing negative that I have ever heard about is that sometimes it takes longer than anticipated. I look at it this way, there is a reason they are so busy.

Are you referring to Evo or Rebel?

Debating between the 2 shops myself.

I have taken my jeep to Rebel Offroad to have it worked on a couple of times. They do quality work and I have had zero issues on anything done at their shop. Also, in regards to Rebels Coil over system. In the rear you can have them set up (2) different ways; one that comes up in the trunk area or the one that does not. I have wheeled with a couple of people who do have the Rebel rear coil over system that does not come up through the trunk area. Not one of them, have I seen the rear coils come close to any damage on the trail and the trails that I ran at the time were John Bull, Bull Frog and Mottino Wash.

I have no experience with Rebel, but a ton of experience with Off Road Evolution - I can tell you that I have been impressed at every turn with the product, the people, and the workmanship. Mel and his team have made me feel like family.... Quality is never cheap, but neither is the work they do. I just took my jeep with ORE's double throwdown out on the Rubicon and it performed flawlessly. Both the shop and their product get my hardiest recommendation.
