JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

can you do this?

Default can you do this?

Evo front coilover system but not the rear coilovers so instead do like a terflax 3 in. Or teraflex 4 in. Kit in the rear? And then 37 in. Tall tires. And if possible what would it take to make this happen?

Yes you can run just coilovers in the front. This is what I am planning on doing. Just get yourself a nice set of high quality shocks in the rear.

Yeah is a front driveshaft needed? And do you have a price estimate for everything completed but broken down?

FWIW, that's the setup I'm currently running...EVO 12" coilovers in the front and a 3.5" spring setup in the rear. I'm pretty happy with it so far, but will still complete the rear EVOLever when the wallet allows

I run the 12" EVO coilovers up front with the FT 4" LA kit. I have pics in my profile.

I have the 12" coils and FT 4" in the rear. Will be swapping to the OEM replacement Kings next week for the rear. Once money is there, I will do the evolever in the back.

Breakdown:

Front coilover kit $1600 - 1800
Rear springs and king shocks $1000
Long arm upgrade kit from Full Traction $1800
Adjustable trackbars front and rear $300
Adjustable Sway Links $300
Longer brake lines $100
Je Reel Driveshafts front and back $1000
Teraflex Speed Bumps $800
JKS Extended Front Bump pads $100

The feeling that you get when you hit speedbumps at 60 mph and float down the freeway: PRICELESS!!

I don't know about the labor since I did it, but you need to know how to weld and have patience and time to do it yourself.

Have you thought about Off Road Evolutions new 4" plush coil springs for the rear with some of the King JK Valued Shocks? We are running it for now and the ride is awesome with nice balance between the front and rear. We are about to go with 37" tires with this setup (front 12" ORE Coil Overs, rear 4" ORE coil springs, King Shocks) and we are running the front lower and rear upper Tera Flex control arms to adjust DS angles (running Coast 1350 DS). Depending on trails you run there really isn't a reason to go long arms, see the RTi data on WOL old thread below:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/arch...p/t-55321.html

My suggestion would be to call Off Road Evolution and talk to Mel. He'll tell you the minimum requirements to run the setup you are looking to do and like I stated we are running it and I'm sure a lot of other will be as well in the coming months. Good luck!
