Anyone running this set up? or see any reason not to run it?

I am currently running a MC game changer w/6 pack shocks on a JKU. I love the control arms and the 6 pack shocks but I'd like to try some kings as I have heard great things about them. And as of now MC doesnt have a 3"+ lift they only have a leveling kit

What size tires do you plan to run? EVO springs are way underrated for lift. @smoverland got 4” from his 2.5” springs in front. I’d say it’s easily a 3+ lift overall.

I plan on running 37s, I have a set on back order that I ordered for my JKU and they still haven't came in so I'll probably just throw them on the JT.

I'm pretty sure I saw that post and completely skipped over it. Thanks for mentioning that! Maybe I'll got 2.5.

As @Renegade mentioned, I got way more than 2.5" out of the Evo 2.5" kit. I'm running 38s and have plenty of clearance. I took the time today to push the limits of my flex and found I have rubbing in the front only when I'm fully into my bump stops. If you have the higher Rubicon fenders, I don't believe you would rub even when at full flex, especially with 37s.

Seeing most Gladiator lifts in person the EVO 2.5 lift compared to the Metalcloak 3.5 lift in height along with the RK 3 inch lift, depending on what you want this could be a good or bad thing.

Metalcloak makes great control arms, i would not hesitate to use these up front along with a Steer Smarts track bar. In the rear i would use the RK X Factor system eliminating the rear track bar. Personally i would use The RK springs front and rear over the EVO`s but that`s just me.

I purchased the full Steer Smarts list of components for front steering. Rear Metalcloak trackbar for the simplicity of the DuraTrak bushing. It should be a winning combination. Fox 2.0 shocks for economy.
