The evo arms have Johnny joints as well. More expensive.

I’m on the phone with my local 4x4 shop getting the kit ordered in. They are good guys and do great work. Just try and peddle the teraflex and metal cloak crap a little too hard. When I first called them about the rancho they immediately gave me the Teraflex pitch. Now that I called with EVO they didn’t counter with Teraflex. I guess that means I made the right choice lol.
I ran Kings on my JK, I didn't like that they needed rebuilding at about 20k miles- I was hoping they would've lasted longer.
Shops and vendors will ALWAYS pimp whatever they have in stock and or are out to make the most profit on.
Actually, that sounds about right. Great shocks but they do require regular maintenance. Makes them even more pricey than the original cost.
Eddie I'm going to be honest, your videos is why I still haven't plopped my credit card down on the EVO kit yet lol. Watching the stuff you have done with a Rancho system or a dynatrac system with the EVO arms has me kind of flaky on the decision. On one hand having the best system is a good thing, but on the other hand I am not fooling myself into thinking that I am some sort of hard core off roader living out west, although frequent trips out that way are frequent.
The other thing that is bothering me is if I will like the way the Jeep looks with 35s under a 2.5" lift or am I going to have to try to unload a new set of 35s to go up to 37s?
It’s ok to mix and match. I’m running 2.5” EVO coils with Rancho shocks and Core4x4 control arms.

Well after contemplation I have decided not to break my golden rule of cheaping out and buy once, cry once. Just plopped down my credit card on the EVO Enforcer Overland Stage 4 and EVO tire carrier. Also threw in an ARB twin compressor to replace my tired old craftsman piece of crap air compressor. Install is 28th of this month.

LOL - I apologize for not seeing this sooner. Of course, I see that you've already pulled the trigger and I'm sure you'll be happy with what you get. That being said, you're gonna wanna unload a set of new 35's and bump up to 37's :crazyeyes:
Sure do wish they would mix and match rings without making you buy new rings. Oh well guess I will just have some scratched up black Beadlock rings.
Lol. DIY silver rings.
Well good news. Discount tire said they will swap out my 35s for 37s no issues. Got a set of XD231 RG in Black with Chrome Hardware on the way. Sure do wish they would mix and match rings without making you buy new rings. Oh well guess I will just have some scratched up black Beadlock rings.

You can probably use some aircraft stripper on your black rings then polish the aluminum back up without too much trouble. Would be an afternoon of work if you wanted to save the money.

It’s strange, when I mention Rancho to a dealer they say they are crap and push TeraFlex or Rubicon Express or the east coasters. So damn confused?!? Why not Mopar?

They are pushing what they already sell, and make the most money on.
