Default EVO Rockstar questions...

I have a set of the evo rockstar skids here waiting to be installed. before i do the install I wanted to check with those who have done it before to make sure i dont run into any unforeseen issues. The set up i'm running is the TF 2.5" coil lift w/shock extensions (and my stock rubi shocks). I've read that I might need to swap out the longer rear swaybar links that came with my lift and put them on the front, putting the stock rear links back on the rear. Is there anything else I should worry about running into? I have the TF track bar relocation, but not the one that is from the axle. Will i need to remove my shock extensions now that the skids move the stock shocks up higher? I just want to make sure everything is in order before I do the install! thanks guys.

You might have to remove your shock extensions. Once you have the RS installed just cycle your suspension to see if it bottoms out, but I would just remove the extensions since the RSs move your shock 2" back up soooo your shock should only be .5" approx than stock. If not, then get longer bump stops.

As for the links, try your stock ones, but you should get the EVO ones since they are more low profile in the ends to avoid rubbing and they are adjustable not to mention stronger.

Just give Mel and the guys a call at ORE and they will tell you what you need

Hopefully I'll get mine on this weekend. Im still using the Teraflex BB bumpstops, so I will measure the compressed shock length after I install them and let you know.
