Evo leveling kit

[trexburn]

First off i have a 2012 jks its a daily driver in Indiana no rock climbing mainly trail driving. I'm wanting to 35" tires and I believe I read somewhere in this forum you can wheel 35" s with an evo leveling kit and trimmed fenders. Is this correct or am I dreaming things up again.

You are correct

Did you want to run stock wheels as well? You might need spacers.

I will be running stock wheels and did know about the spacers but thanks for making sure I knew.

35s with Evo Level!

This will be one of my first mods. Is it important to use shock extension or bumpstops with this kit, if you plan on keeping the stock shocks?

I didn't get shock extensions or bigger bump stops. I haven't had a problem on road or off road yet. The only thing that might matter is that your droop will be limited to a couple inches or so.

I got ya, so shock extensions would offer some additional droop, but would adding extensions then necessitate bumpstops?

I would assume so but then again it would depend on how much travel your shocks have. I haven't measured exactly how much travel I have left on the stock shocks but I haven't added new shocks or shock extensions.

Probably just one of those things I'll have to experiment with it. Thanks.

Don't forget about looking at your brakelines. With the extra flex, you might need them.

Synergy makes some bolt on shock extension brackets if you go that route. Some manufacturers require some cutting.

However,

It is not much more to get new shocks say....Rancho 5000s.

Good point. Ifeel like I had all this on my list at one point then started trying to simplify the plan now I back to where I started.

I added rockstar skids (moved my mount 2"up in the rear) and synergy shock mount relocation brackets in the front (2" inches), and didn't require bumpstops with my Rancho 9000(no lift). But I think their collapsed length is about a half inch less than factory Rubi shocks.
If you get any other shock extensions they are all 3" longer and you will def need bumpstops.
You don't need extensions but with out them I had less than 2" of droop. Now I have 2" more uptravel than stock and almost 2" more down travel over stock. Happy with my set up, I also added sway bar links, but no need really if you keep stock shocks. Rides great.

Yep, i just added drop brackets. Works fine

Thanks for the synergy link. I guess now that we are getting into the details, will adding shock extensions cause a need for an exhaust spacer or possibly an aftermarket drive shaft since we can now get some additional articulation from the package?

Possibly exhaust spacer and definitely a small bump stop spacer depending how long a shock extension you get.

How'd you get 2" more up travel?
