So just finish yesterday installing the Clayton 2.5 overland diesel kit. I think it came out pretty well
Before
After
Installed using some shock extensions as I am not certain exactly my ultimate shock (probably coilovers) it netted roughly 4" on front but seems to come up a bit short on...
But of course what kind of other portions of the lift will probably play a major factor in it.
Unless you are converting to a Long Arm suspension you would not be able to get the 14"+ travel EVO claims as they recommend limiting straps if you are using the mid-arm suspension. With the straps...
So, actually talked to some people at EVO. From what they tell me their King shock used in their coilover kits is actually a custom length. They tell me that it is over 13" stroke, so with that in mind it would be very easy to get a little bit more travel with having the shocks at an angle to...
Yeah.... I have live all over LA, Orange County, and now Riverside.... Lived for a bit in Torrance across the street from Alpine Village. But also lived multiple place in West LA (Palms, Venice, Mar Vista) as well as Van Nuys and Woodland Hills.... Also many locations outside California and...
Absolutely... I actually live probably around 45 mins from Rebel (lived maybe 3 blocks away from them 15 yrs ago) and around 30 mins to EVO. I live in Eastvale, CA which is next to Corona/Chino. I need to get on that mail list to know their next event as I would love to take a look...
Well without actually talking to EVO and just looking at their website gets me this
This PIC from EVO's website can see the front shock tilted back at an angle and using the factory coil bucket as a reference being the factory coil spring is approx 5" OD. The factory location would be just...
Yeah, I decided to give Rebel a call... From what it sounds they both use a 2.5" x 12" King shock. I have not confirmed with EVO and their website does not appear to show if they are using a 12" or 14" shock. But if 12" I think they would need to tuck the shock at an angle to get 14" out of a...
I wonder how are you liking the King Shocks with the Rebel Coilover kit... I am think of doing the same to my JT but still trying to decide if I should go Rebel or EVO.... Truthfully wondering if there is any real difference. The Rebel says 12" of travel and EVO claim 14"... Don't know if i...
not my first but been a while... Did a RK 3.5" kit on my 2016 JKUR a while back... I think the Clayton kit is simpler to install as the RK kit was a PITA due to jam nuts on both sides...
Just did the Clayton 2.5" and used Metalcloaks extensions which are at 3" for the shocks. It appears to be doing pretty well. If I get a chance I will take some pick of the suspension loaded and at droop.
Well just Sunday I installed the 2.5" overland+ on my JT for the front end, the rear is waiting for next weekend. But without a lift and just using floor jacks and fumbling my way around I found the front to take me around 10 hours. A couple items that had me taking longer than an experienced...
Found these on amazon... one of the reviewers say they work perfectly with the gladiator rails.

Cannot tell you from actual experience yet. But looking throughout the forums here I find most people seem to be able to install it in a day or two in their driveway. I would imagine a shop would be around a day considering they should have a lift and all the proper power tools to make the...
Well... I purchased the Overland+ 2.5" diesel today... now need to source some shock extension because I am waiting to get funds to go extreme with my shocks.
You could have used a wheel spacer to "push" the stock Rubi rims out. But I know I will get some bashing for even suggesting a spacer but it would be a lot less expensive than a new set of rims.
I think you just needed the excuse to get the larger tires and nicer rims... :)
