Jeep JL Wrangler Coilover Suspension with High Clearance Long Arm Installation by EVO - PART 1

Since getting our Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited a little over a year and a half ago, Cindy and I have had a chance to test out a myriad of lift kits and this would include everything from a budget boost to a 4" coil lift. We did this to learn as much as we could and gain as much first hand experience as possible and mainly because we always knew this day was coming - the point of no return!
Based on our years of experience running EVO coilovers on both of our JK Wranglers, it really was just a matter of time before we installed set on our JL Wrangler as well. In addition to offering a crazy amount of flex out on the trail and allowing us to bomb across the desert in comfort, EVO has always done a great job of designing their coilover kits to offer an on pavement ride that we absolutely love. Of course, ride comfort is 100% subjective and the best part about coilovers is that they're completely adjustable. In other words, if you don't like what you get standard, you can always set them up with whatever spring rate and valving you prefer.
To help optimize our ride quality even more, we decided to have EVO High Clearance Long Arms installed at the same time as they do a great job of correcting suspension geometry. And, in this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you'll get to see what all is involved to get them installed. We hope you enjoy.

Eddie, I have had that kit for the past 8 months or so, it is really awesome! Talk to Mel, but I would highly recommend putting limit straps on. It will flex so much it will put a lot of outward stress on the rear long arm brackets and will start pulling the welds off of the frame. My JL scored a 930 on the Metalcload CTI rig with the straps on.

Full disclosure, Mel is a close personal friend and the parts he makes and the labor was given to us as a gift. What I can tell you is that it took 2 guys and 2 whole days to get everything done. That's about 16 hours worth of labor or so and if I could guess, you'd be looking at about $2k for installation.

I did have a thought about the placement of the lower mounts on the front axle.. With the lower mounts being moved up to the centerline of the axle, nearly 100% of there rotational forces (wrap) are place on the upper arm and mounts. I know it have been tested and proven but I wonder how much sooner the uppers wear out from this design choice?

I'm not sure they make this kit for a TJ. For the JL, you're looking at about $9k plus labor.

Eddie. If someone was interested in this mod, what would it likely cost. VERY NICE!!

The long arms and coilovers come up to about $9000. Labor would be whatever the going rate of the shop who's installing it. Off Road Evolution was able to get everything done in 2 days if that helps.

You would need to contact them about that but I'd be willing to bet they could help you out.

Just from living in one of the Midwest states that loves their road salt... would it have been worth it to use some weld through primer (or something like that to prevent rust) behind the control arm brackets that were welded on?

I guess we're lucky in that we live in Nevada and where rust is a non-issue.

Hi. I am wondering the JL/jk double thrown down system. What are the differences and pros and cons? By these two comparisons. Thank you~

To the best of my knowledge, there is no production DTD for the rear of a JL, only the front.

Does the rear sway bar contact the coil over at full droop? My does. I’m wondering if the sway bar links were longer if that would resolve the situation. I have the same kit in a 2021 JLU.

Sounds like your lower control arms are set too long. Your axle is too far back.

What that coilover system that you linked in description does it come with the long arms?

If you look, you will see on their site that this kit is listed under "long arm" kits.

LOL - we've been wanting to do this since day 1 but had to go through the process or running different lifts. Needed the first hand experience.
