I’ve have an Evo enforcer 2.5 stage 1 paired with falcon shocks and 37”s about 5k miles on it and can say it drives good . I ordered the front lower Control Arms and both track bars but they never came in ha ha .. my offroad shop prob forgot . Talked to Mel at Evo and he told me the as is the drive still good but would improve with those extra parts . It’s a Jeep on 37”s so it’s only prob going to be so good .. all 5k miles are overlanding and desert running with zero issues . At this point not even sure if I’d buy the LCA or track bars but who knows .. this is my personal experience

Probably but I wanted a lift go wheeling and then at the end of my lease will just put the stock wheels, tires, fender flares on, then i'll probably get the Mopar lift on the Rubicon when I lease that next and bolt everything onto that one! At least I didn't get a rough country lift! haha
Rough Country would have been an improvement actually.

For 2.5” of lift, I wouldn’t mess with any of it.

This^^^
Recently bought my Gladiator with the Skyjacker 2.5” lift, and it drives like absolute garbage. Had to replace rear shocks, now fronts need replacing. I’m just going to upgrade to a better kit all-together.

Oh and to install them. Leave the Jeep on the ground. Break loose all of the bolts, just break them all loose, do not remove. And then do one side (Driver, passenger) at a time (Remove and replace). Do not remove both arms at the same time. It's a PITA to get everything back in line. I find that it's easier to replace them with the vehicle on the ground, completely under its own weight.

Check with a 3rd party lift kit instruction guide for the torque spec

Torque spec is something like 76 lbs. Double check with a 3rd party lift kit instruction guide.
76 ft lbs...for control arms?? Only the upper front are that low everything else is 190-200 ftlbs

The estimated Freight option is a backup option for large items that require to be quoted manually after the order is placed, This would be for engines etc...

Once you enter your shipping info you will see standard Fedex rates populate.

Thank you for the order!

Just an update for everyone I ordered the control arms on 10/12 and still have yet to receive them. Everytime I reach out to get an update there's a delay of some sort. I'm about to just tell them to refund my money and get different ones. My only hesitation is that whoever I order control arms through is going to take even longer to get here...

Hi Jack,
Things are not doing too well within the entire supply chain and as we get ETA's from FCA we forward them to our customer's such as yourself. Yesterday we received some orders from 10/13 so they are running about a month behind.

If you would like to cancel the order please let me know,
