My EVO overland enforcer 2.5" stage4 w/King Review - Here is a quick review based on only few days of driving, but being my daily driver, the before and after is very obvious. (NOTE: In additional to the EVO Kit, I also installed the Rancho spring isolator to minimize the Front Springs Bowing issue on the JLs)
I have a 2018 JLUR 3.6.
1> I should have gone with the 3.5" instead of the 2.5". Unlike many of the other 2/2.5" lift kit which raise 3-3.5", my Evo is at approx. 2.25-2.5" taller.
2> I am still on OEM 33" BFG. Cold Air pressure 34psi
3> My steering has been decent compares to the many complaints from this forum. When I first got the Jeep back in May last year, at first steering didn't like to return back to center after a turn, the problem went away after tire pressure dropped from 45psi to about 35psi, and it also seems to improve after I had it for 2-3 weeks.
In terms of the Pros and Cons with the new suspension setup. The only Con seems to be the increase weight (According to my wife)
Pros:
1> The Jeep is now running with a 6 degree Caster, and the steering response is hugely improved. It feels firm, no wobbling, and stable above 70mph.
2> Driving dynamic, less roll than stock, and minimal nose dive during braking.
3> When going over bumps, the initial response from the shocks is very similar to OEM, but it has this cushion feel toward the end.
The suspension will be re-torqued after 500 miles, and I originally plan on add track-bars, Tie-rod, draglink and SS which I have a feeling my Jeep wouldn't be needed.
