Great! Do you guys have access to the new EVO Stage 2 kit with shock extensions? Is it worth going that route, or should I just do the basic 2.5” stage 1 if my intention is to use the Jeep for road trips and occasional use on the Beach to go surf fishing? In other words, no aggressive off road work.
Why is this kit $544 and it doesn't come with control arms ? I like these kits because you can keep the stock ride but Rubicon express has the same kit for only 399 and i was also wondering what makes them so good over others like sky jacker that come with springs and shocks in a 2.5 complete suspension lift ? I dont nothing about EVO so i am just asking to tell about me about these kits and why they are more when its just steel and you cant really break steel. I am just looking for a good deal and a good product alsoWith the 37's under it stock and it bumping and rubbing, we had to get some lift on it ASAP, so we broke out the EVO MFG. 2.5" boost stage 1 kit.
It's a pretty simple kit consisting of coil spacers and bump stop extensions. We also added in the shock extensions so we wouldn't have to worry about longer shocks.
You can get both of them together in kit form here: 2.5" Boost Stage 1 kit w/ shock extensions
Before - stock height with 37s:
As you can see, the 37s look pretty good in there stock, but too much bumping and rubbing to drive it around on the street and forget even thinking about a trail.
After the EVO mfg. 2.5" Boost kit:
Quite a noticeable difference; the look is more proportioned with some space in the wheel wells.
For ride quality? This kit uses the same springs and shocks, so there was no difference in ride quality. It rides just as nice and smooth as it did before the lift.
Got them in a few different configurations for you to choose from: EVO 2.5" boost kits.

Tech Tim which 2.5 can I get for around $700 that will give me everything I need to make it look . When I called evo boost they told me part number 3002 but I don't see that one
This is the one you're probably looking for: EVO 2.5" Overland Boost w/ shock ext pn#3002S1EXT

Let me know when you have something. I too am not a fan of interior mounting but I couldn't find any other option and this is the one ARB recomended.
Well, that is good to hear, my tax over payment/interest free loan to the Fed is going to need somewhere to go..... waiting somewhat patiently. I was considering the interior mount, but haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet because the aftermarket industry was jammed up getting their rigs ready for EJS, now that its done, I would hope to see the gates open a bit for parts..
One of my concerns with the Mountain Offroad is the exposed compressor body. To the uninformed, its just something mounted in the cargo area, but to the informed its a $700 compressor ripe for the picking, particularly if you are running a soft top or topless.
