My job doesn't let me get to the off-road parks near as much as I would like!

Haha! I'm with you brother, if I could wheel everyday or even every weekend, I would but I work a full time job to pay for my full time dream of wheeling for a living one day

eddie, if you dont mind correct me if i am wrong, but the rear of the evo bolt on kit yileds 11.25'' versus the 9'' that rebel showed out back? im pretty good with reading comprehension but thats a massive difference and pretty impressive on evo's part if i did read and understand correctly.
i also saw somewhere you can set it at 2.5'' of lift. that is EXCELLENT because thats what i have now and dont need / want to go any higher.
evo's bolt on kit seems to be an absolutely excellent performer for the money. i was gearing up to go with the weld in kit and evolever, but pricing it out with the labor needed to install, my budget really says bolt on.
I know Eddie said that it would be false advertising but doesn't travel depend on a lot of different factors? Like tire size, fenders, and bumpstops?
So Eddie your saying that everyone who puts the EVO bolt on kit on will have 11.25" of travel in the rear?
Rebel was kind enough to get out the tape measure and show us the flex on there kit why can't you or EVO do that same? It is a tape measure and you seem to offroad all the time so is it really that hard? You talk up the EVO kit so much and the off-roading pics are nice but I want to see comparable pics to what Rebel Off-road put up.
Doesn't the EVO kit require you to modify the Jeep to a point that is can not be taken back to stock? I am just trying to get all the facts before I fork off that kind of cash.

just installed today with help from a couple guys, let me say this...this kit is badass, period! this is just the fronts installed and the flex was pretty impressive. There is 36 1/2" under that raised 35" tire. I think it would easily go to 40" when the rears are installed.

Wow! You respond like everyone is out to get you?
I didn't say you said anything false I just asked you to prove the amount of travel you stated! You push the EVO kit yet you won't show us how good the kit is?
You say you have nothing to prove then why call out other companies?
I am pretty sure the rear bolt on kit comes with EVO Rockstars do you or do you not have to cut the stock shock mount off to install these?
Did you install your EVO kit?
Just wondering cause I installed one today and it didn't include all needed hardware (no swaybar bolts/nuts). Oh and a list of tools needed would have been nice so we didn't need to go to the store halfway through the install to get a 15/16" wrench. The brackets were missing powder coating when we pulled them out of the box.

I ask this because Chris from Offroad Evolution stated in Press Release thread that adjustable lower control arms are needed at a min, but I did not see this on the website.

But you know, we all may be wrong since its the Internet and not tv, it's kind of hard to judge emotions without the use of handy little emoticons
