What about the rear part of the evap skid, does that get drilled/moved as well? Thanks...

It's a single bolt, so you can just pivot it. You could just drill a new hole in the end and slide it over if you wanted to.

I did this this morning as soon as I saw it. It took me a whole 10 minutes. I had noticed that the rear drive shaft boot was somehow getting some wear, but not torn yet. I still don't see how it could be rubbing on the evap skid. can someone explain this?

Bought your 2.5" lift kit several months ago. 2nd trip out I heard a weird sound. Looked under and saw my DS boot flapping. Had to cut it off with a knife on the trail. Jeep was on an angle and when I went to climb underneath I grabbed the door sill to balance myself. The door slammed shut and I broke my finger.

I moved the evap skid before my next ride, and had to source a new stock rear DS which cost me $100.

I love my TF lift, but having known this up front would have saved me a ton of pain and $100. Should include it as a recommendation int he instructions.
