I'm running the Evo 2.5" Enforcer Overland Stage 2 Plus kit and added Daystar 3/4" coil spring spacers to the front coils to level it out. It now sits perfectly level (1/4" higher in the rear) but that will vary from jeep to jeep depending on aftermarket accessories added (bumpers, bed racks, covers, etc...).

For shocks, I went with Fox 2.0 Performance Series 3.5"-4" Lift shocks on the front and rear since the coils themselves added over 3.5 inches of lift over factory height. There's a ton of great shock options on the market and it's hard to go wrong with Fox, Falcon, or King; but I don't think there is anything that can touch the Fox 2.0's at that price point. I couldn't be happier with the ride quality which is literally luxury sedan smooth on the highway. The suspension absorbs everything and I don't feel anything in the cab.

The real game changer for ride quality was the the EVO Geometry Correction brackets which is essentially just a lower front control arm drop. I know most are reluctant to install these brackets since it cuts into ground clearance, but I am able steer the truck with one finger going down the road at 70mph and it completely cut out the tendency to "wander" when driving over dips and bumps at higher speeds.

Has anyone installed this kit with the ecodiesel? I just ordered the 2.5 HD kit for my Overland. I will be running some 37ā€ Toyo RTā€™s on a set of Warn Moonsault wheels. I already have a front and rear adjustable trackbar, Fox shocks for the 3 1/2-4ā€ lift, along with drop brackets for the front lowers.

It looks amazing!.
I decided to stay with 35s so I didnā€™t install the Evo lift I went with the mopar 2 inch springs.
Now I regret it lol. I got the core 4x4 arms so Iā€™ll go for the Evo 2.5 in a year or 2 and of course 37s.

This is my EVO overlander lift.... I went with a .5 inch spacer in front and a 3/4 inch spacer in the rear... mostly to make up for the weight difference and possible sag over time. 9000 miles on it now... and it does 37's fine. Sport Max tow fenders chopped for american adventure labs leds.

Has anyone done this lift with a diesel Sport S? Also want to leave it on 33's. Don't intend on going to bigger tires. Not a rock crawler. Just like to get out and explore.

I would get the 2.5 shocks. To protect the jeep as much possible from getting noises inside the cab. You will enjoy the ride alot better too!
