Hey guys,
New to the forums here but I am on my 4th Jeep. Previously had a 1991 YJ, 1997 TJ, 2006 SRT8, and last but not least I recently picked up a 2015 JKUR.
Previous to this wrangler I hadn't got much into mods, I threw a set of tires and wheels on my last TJ but that was the extent of it. I am 29 years old and a Project Design Engineer, I live in Lakeville and my hobbies consist of a wide variety of projects including CNC design & automation, machining, working on and rebuilding cars, firearms etc.. I picked up this JK in June and last weekend installed an Evo 4" DoubleD LA Kit, JR Reel 1350 Driveshaft & set of 17" Raceline Beadlocks. Feel free to give me a shout if you live nearby, my rides still a work in progress but I'll be slowing buying new parts over time. Next up is front & rear bumpers & a set of rails.

Welcome to Wayalife! Got some buddies headed that way as I'm typing this...fishing on the border waters at Crane Lake. I was supposed to go, but family comes first :yup: Great looking Jeep!
 
Welcome from Seattle! Very nice rubi, congrats on the new purchase. How's the daily ride of the new evo suspension?

I drive about 20 miles to work each way and I have been very impressed with the ride so far. The only issue I had with alignment was steering wheel center being off by a substantial amount due to the 4" lift. I quickly adjusted it the first time around (and was still 10 degrees off center) and the jeep was tripping into traction control mode when I was driving a straight line. I went back to the garage and re-adjusted the center more carefully so that I was +/- a degree or 2 and that immediately solved that issue. It currently drives straight as can be. I am planning to double check and adjust caster angles this weekend just to verify everything is where it should be.

That's awesome! I have the evo leveling kit now, and am debating going with the Evo 3" enforcer kit but was worried about how it drove. Right now it drives great but I wouldn't dare try and text and drive like I used to when it was stock haha

Yeah I am very pleased with the handling of the jeep right now and that was with literally no time spent on alignment (other than the steering wheel center). I definitely would recommend EVO, although it was expensive and very time consuming to install I am very glad I went with this kit over a cheap one. I would assume their other kits are quality as well. Good luck!
