Control arm upgrade. Long arms perhaps?

[wjtstudios]

Looking at going with this kit in the next month or so! Tried going with evo short arms a couple times, but my money always had other plans of its own.

EVO Manufacturing EVO-1200 Rear Double ThrowDown Suspension Long Arm Upgrade Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

This is the EVO MFG High Clearance Long Arm Kit for EVOlever equipped Wrangler JK's. This system was designed to enhance the EVOlever Suspension System.

Hopefully it works out!!! I’m tired of the rough country control arms that I have. Such noisy heim joints!

I just had mine installed. It is a noticeable difference. Enjoy. I still have some concerns with my Bolt on CO's.

I’m so glad to hear the noticeable difference! Looking forward to how it will handle! What concerns do you have about the COs?

That’s awesome! It really does make a world of difference on how it rides

I am really looking forward to them!!! Driving 80ish miles a day on rough pavement will hopefully be more enjoyable lol

Sorry I don’t have experience with COs yet to help you. Hopefully it gets sorted out!

Hopefully they are actually stocked at q-tech and not drop ship. I called Evo this week and they said 20 weeks for that kit.

That’s what I’m hoping for. I assumed it would be quite the wait but not that long

Out of curiosity I was going to put in an order through Q-tec but this came up during checkout.

You are right, hopefully it won’t be 20 weeks!

Just about three weeks out

That sounds better to me lol

Mine is a 2011 so I think there is a difference. Turns out on mine they had to cut the drivers side Cat out and spin it I think.

Well damn… I’m sure someone will give a little guidance with the loop.

Being that you got the kit for the Evolever, how are you mounting the coilovers to the axle? Is there enough room for the rear CA/shock mount and the new bracket for the LA?

And yes, the exhaust loop gets cut out and flipped, then re-welded in place.

The kit isn’t evo-lever specific, it’s to enhance the evo lever. The instructions have a section for if your installing with the evo lever. The kit number is the same on their website and the axle bracket looks to have a shock mount. Plus evo only offers the 1 long arm kit for JKs anymore it seems like.

So is there no need to buy a loop relocation pipe?

Gotcha - I didn't notice those in the pic - I saw the ones I circled first off & thought uh-oh. Probably easier to just make the one kit & be done with it I guess.

There really isn't a need to buy the loop if you can re-weld the old one back together. It's like a logic puzzle getting it back in place 180 degrees opposite of the original install.
