Default Building a Lift-EVO Plush Ride 3"

Hey, So I am putting a kit together with EVO 3" plush ride springs and bilstein 5100's. I also plan to extend the bump stops, new EVO sway bar links, and EVO brake line drop brackets. Will this work without problems? Also, what kind of bump stops should I get and what size? As well, what length end links do I need with 3" springs.
If anyone is running these springs I would love to see pics, especially the 3".

Thanks

Bumpstops depend on tire size and shock length. I think if you run 35s you'll need 3" rear and front. If 33, 2" rear and nothing up front. End links, add 3 " to what they are now.

our Enforcer kit also comes in a 3" lift kit. If you dont want to mix and match

The only thing you might want to add is the drag link flip kit.
EVO: Suspension / Steering, EVO MFG(2) 4" Lift Kit ENFORCER Package


Edit: Since you have a two door you might want to add a set of upper rear control arms. Currie makes a nice set

I can't afford the full enforcer kit, so I want to try and just get the basics now, and then upgrade needed parts down the road. The drag link flip does seem necessary though. The enforcer runs about 2300 correct? Would I notice a big differance?

Never mind to my previous post. But another question, would I net about 2.5" from the 3" enforcer kit or would it be a true 3" net? I have seen some people say they get around 3.5" from the 4" kit and I am curious.

At 3" of lift, i would first fix caster with either adjustable LCA's or drop brackets, add trackbar to the front and track bar bracket to the rear before i looked at a drag link flip kit.

you are looking at the price with King shocks,

the Enforcer is $1,184.50 without shocks, Bilsteins are around $95.00 each. The drag link flip is $299.99

You do not need a adjustable trackbar with the drag link flip or a rear trackbar with the Enforcer. It gives you a RCC (rear trackbar bracket).

Ok, are there any other (affordable) shocks that would go well with the enforcer? Also does anyone have a good comparison to the AEV 2.5
