Will this system work with most long arm kits or does it need to be the EVO long arm?

"same old stuff that's already out there" - LOL!!

well, you've set the bar and if they can deliver half as much as you seem to be promising, i'll be eager to see some hot new original stuff that's never been done before. sure hope they can put their money where your mouth is

i'm not sure how to answer your question. with coilovers, you can actually have a much shorter lift while giving you extreme flex. for example, my jk sitting on 40" tires sits lower than a jk with a teraflex 4" long arm lift and 37's. and, it will out flex it as well.

yes. it will work with just about any long or short arm kit. in fact, prior to the fulltraction long arms i am running now, i was running this setup on teraflex short arms.

Does any one have pictures of 14 inch coils with 37 inch tires fully stuffed in the front?

Hey WOL and Trail Bud, I heard rumors that the evo setup makes a lot of noise. I didn't notice this at Odessa but wondered how it is on and off road? I guess the concern is all the bushings squeaking (maybe in the rear lever setup)?

don't know where you've been hearing these "rumors" but, you saw our jk's in action and i would hope that would be proof enough for you discount them as being just that, "rumors". sure, i have seen/heard of a case where another shop totally screwed the install and that caused squeaking and an eventual break but, if properly installed and maintained, the evo lever will remain quite. to be honest, the same would apply to most aftermarket suspension componets regardless of who it's made by.

If I can successfully get this pic here, it's what you are asking for.






Passenger front is stuffed as is driver rear. Driver front still has traction at full flex same for passenger rear. FYI - it's 6 ft. from the bottom of the tire to the bottom of the fender flare.
