EVO Enforcer 2.5" lift questions on JL

epriev

Caught the Bug
So I have received all the boxes for the stage 4 overland enforcer kit. I was hyped to install it this weekend after watch the rancho lift install video. But then I read through the EVO instructions and got cold feet and I stalled the front bumper and winch instead. And needing a 24mm wrench.

The front follows pretty well with Eddie's video, other than the additional overland bracket steps.

For the rear the instructions show installing a sway bar drop bracket to the frame. The kit has no such part, nor is it listed in the parts list. I can't find one on the EVO website. How necessary is dropping the swaybar?

With only a 2.5" lift, would it be necessary to reroute the parking brake lines, or would they be fine as is. Do you even need disconnect the parking brakes for the 2.5" lift if you are not rerouting the lines?

I also didn't get the rear track bars. The stock should be fine? Does it need or can it be adjusted for proper alignment.

Since the stock rear sway bar links are relocated to the front, could you do the rear 1st? It seems simpler than the front other than hoping you get lucky blindly treading the flag nut on the passenger control arm.

Also, it seems as though it could be driven with just the rear installed, and do the front on another day.

Control arm jam nuts. It says to torque them to 250 or 300 lb.ft. after alignment. Really?

And the final setup instruction say to use a driver's side coil seat on the passenger side if a passenger side ARC is present? What does this mean? Is this the front or rear or both? I didn't see this in any of Eddie's videos.

Thanks in advance.

Eddie, your videos and guides are awesome. The rear lift went on so much faster.

On the passenger rear uca frame bolt, I use needle nosed pliers on the flag nut to get the spacing correct. Then lined it up looking through the frame ond uca before feeding the bolt to it. Took a few tries, but it seemed like a better option after trying blind fishing on the driver's side before I gave up and used the window.

I'll tackle the trackbar another day. And try the overland kit again later.

Still looks low in the back.

Also what would this cost to install and alignment? Offroad Warehouse/4 wheel parts quoted $1200 plus tax & shop fees.

Took it for a quick drive around the hood. We have a road with very aggressive speedbumps and I didnt hear any unusual noises or binding.

Steering wheel is off maybe 5-10 degrees, but zero warning lights.

I only charge $500 for the info. I’ll PM you my address so you can send the check.

my shops labor rate is $160/hr and i believe we charge 8 hrs for the AEV lifts we normally install w/ geo brackets. Then an "alignment" to center the steering wheel.
