Need Help Fast! PR44u + EVO MFG Coilover install

[devwil68]

I am in the process of installing the EVO bolt in Coilover Kit with my Dynatrac PR44 front axle and have run into a challenge with the lower front shock brackets. I don't honk they are aligning properly or do I even need them?

 

[utiadam]

You have the driver side bracket on the passenger side

 

[devwil68]

So this is what it should look like? Do I drill holes in the dynatrac bracket?

 

[utiadam]

This isn't on a pr44 but the short side of the bracket goes to the front and that's where the coilovers bolt to

 

[devwil68]

Okay, looks like trimming of the bracket and holes need to be drilled

 

[utiadam]

Also you need to remove that bracket with the brake line on it because the lower mounts use that hole

 

[Sharkey]

Not sure that you are supposed to even use the bracket with a PR44. I'd check before you start drilling holes in the bracket or you may be paying to have a new bracket welded on your axle.

I did not use the brackets with my PR44

I did not use the brackets with my PR44

This is great to know for when I do mine here in a few weeks :thumb:

But if you do a conversion from shocks and springs to coilovers, wouldn't the pr44 setup be designed for a stick location?

 

[Buster3479]

My unlimited axle already spaces them somewhat outboard (I forgot the exact number of inches) to account for a lifted suspension. It works with spring and shock set ups just fine, and I've always been hoping it will be enough to not require brackets with coilovers some day.

 

[ERAUGrad04]

Yup, my unlimited housing already had the shock mounts positioned outboard. No additional brackets should be necessary for regular shocks or coilovers with reference to the lower shock mount.

Called EVO this morning:

They asked if I had the unlimited PR or the regular, and with having the PR44u, they said the provided brackets within the kit are not necessary and I can use the Dynatrac bottom shock brackets with the coilovers.

Now to just button everything up!

I assume then that with the standard you need to use the provided brackets.

Correct, as shown in the instructions

It's no secret that Evo instructions are not the easiest to read.

Haha, that's an understatement! Even with the PDF files with color pictures it's like reading Chinese.
