Sorry I forgot to add the last part. You need 3.75 or less like 3.5". So if you have 4" backspaced wheels then u will not be able to run evo bolt on coil overs

In order to run evo coil overs, you need at least 3.75" backspace or less
depends on tires width also though...

Because that's all that was available when I found them, and since they fall within the "general" 4.75"-3.75" specs for JKs I figured why not. I don't need my wheels sticking out too far past the fenders.

Do you see an issue I'm missing?

O ok, I was just wondering.
You shouldn't have any problems with that amount of backspace and you won't need to limit your turning radius either

Installed my smittybilt tailgate cover on my backseat. I wanted to be able to remove it quickly if needed. Also, put some decals on my tailgate table.

Swapped my stock 4-dr coils & shocks into SOCAL-JKs 2-dr. Son of a gun gained at least 1" maybe 1.5" of lift.
