Hello, I've been doing research for a v8 swap. I saw in a thread that you were looking into it several years ago and wanted to keep a manual transmission. I'm in that same situation. Did you do the swap? Interested in what you sender up with if you did.
Thank you,
Michael

I have enjoyed your Youtube channel for years. It was very helpful when needed.
What a coincidence, I have a video coming out tomorrow for just what you're looking for.

Hi Burley, what I can tell you is that most shops will try to sell you what they have in stock and/or what they can make the most profit on. I NEVER ask a shop or retailer for recommendations because of this.
Regarding the 2 different EVO long arm kits you're inquiring about, the high clearance kit will have rear mounts that sit along side the frame rail, this as opposed to sitting below the frame rail. The later will give you better suspension geometry correction but they'll also get hung up on obstacles. Of the two, I would go with the high clearance.
With all that said, a double throw down system may be a lot more than you are needing or at least, based on what you've been saying. Yes, coilovers do make noise and for some, it's more annoying than they're willing to deal with. For the performance they provide, I don't even give it a second thought. I should note that they do need to be maintained as well so that's something you'll need to consider.

I just jumped into the Jeep world this weekend and bought my first Jeep.
Plan is Dynatrac Hardcore pro 60s kit. 4” lift with 38x13.50. I’ve narrowed it down to 2 lifts. Evo double throw down with a long arm and the long arm with high clearance. I’m of the understanding that you had both. What is the difference between the 2? Why choose one vs the other? I’ve reached out to Evo and still I’m not getting much of an answer.
A shop in St George try and tell me Teraflex pre runner kit. I haven’t heard great reviews from people on forums. Northridge4x4 said double throw down isn’t worth the money & go Teraflex.
Plans with the Jeep is primarily Overlanding but I want a Jeep build that can handle the Rubicon and maybe Moab. I’m not looking to beat up my Jeep so I won’t go super technical but I want it capable. Your opinion would be awesome though. Also, I’ve heard coil overs make noise. Is it that big of deal? Is it a non issue? Are they worth the upgrade?

Hi rockinaz...I'm sorry to see that you were in an accident with your beautiful jeep. Hopefully you are feeling ok.
I wanted to ask you a question about how you like your 37s and the 5.13 gears. Are you happy with the performance on and offroad?
I'm looking to put 37s on my 2008 rubicon unlimited (3.8l automatic). I'm considering 5.13 and 5.38 gears. My shop tells me that I should go with 5.13, but I'm leaning towards 5.38. It's my daily driver but I do like to take it offroad, to the mountains, to moab, and on road trips.
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the setup and if you are happy with the 5.13 gears?
Eric

Part 3
In addition to the siping, I installed 500 (125 per tire) Grip Studs because the ice is just so bad around here. I've tried them on another set of tires and am very happy. Last spring, I removed them to re-install this season on the new Procomps. Removal leaves a little mark on the tire but nothing I'm worried about.
Got about 6" of fresh, sticky snow today, and the tires are just awesome... I'm thinking even better than dedicated snow tires in these conditions because of the extra space between lugs. So I'm calling my experiment a huge success for now.

Part 2
Was pretty concerned about getting them but lots of jeepers around here swear they are the best mud terrains they have tried for the winter conditions we face. Found an offer I couldn't refuse so I thought I'd try them. I've got about 4000 miles on them now and I'm pretty impressed but it wasn't until now that I got to try them in snow and some nasty ice. My "mission" was to make a mud terrain tire perform well in these conditions. My other vehicle (honda pilot 4wd) is on studded Master Craft Courser snow tires, and my jeep is performing at least as well.
