EVO Enforcer 2.5” Stage 2 Lift | Jeep Rubicon ECO Diesel

EVO Enforcer 2.5” Stage 2 Lift | 2021 Jeep Rubicon ECO Diesel
We recently had a lift installed on our 2021 Jeep Rubicon Eco Diesel.
Fortunately, I found Disciple Offroad discipleoffroad.com and spent quite some time talking with the owner, Jeremy Ricks. Jeremy was able to offer good insight based on his experience as well as what my goals/plans were for the Jeep. I ended up selecting the EVO Enforcer Stage 2 - 2.5” lift with FOX 2.0 shocks. I was originally interested in King shocks, but they are made to order, and the lead time was just too far out because of a pending trip my wife and I were about to go on.
The rims are Black Rhino Warlord in Gunmetal finish. They are a 17 x 9 with a -12 offset, and the backspacing is right at 4.5”. They have about a 1.5” poke from the fender and really give the Jeep a nice stance without being too much or looking obnoxious for a daily driver.
Since this is a daily driver, I opted for the quiet BFG K02’s in a 35 x 12.5. I honestly really liked the Falken Wildpeak MT tires that came on the Jeep but just knew they were going to be a lot louder than the AT BFG K02’s. So far, the result has been a nice ride that I can’t complain about.
All in all, I’m happy with how the Jeep has come out. I also had the Rhino Rack Backbone Rack with the Vortex crossbars installed. I’ve already had our roof top tent on once and it fits nicely on the Rhino Rack.
I can’t recommend Jeremy at Disciple Offroad enough. After spending some time and money in one of the big box stores, I’m happy to have found Disciple Offroad. You get personalized service with fast correspondence, and I really appreciate feeling like a person and not a number like I did with the other guys. Not that they were bad, it’s just a much different experience.
Thanks for watching, Todd

Nice looking ride you have there.

[@brisketbaron]

17x9 4.5 backspace w -12 offset is the perfect rim size for a Jeep. Good pick. Looking to put this same lift on my JT. Check out the yoko geo landers. The 003s are 34.8 if your going 35.

Thanks! We've been really happy with how everything came out. We are not doing hardcore offroading and this lift height has actually worked out really well. The BFG K02's are also wearing extremely well. They have 31K miles on them now and I think have at least another 10K left in them. We will probably put 37's on next time though.

Nice to know there is a sorta local shop doing good work. Looks like you live in these foothills as well.

[@ToddMitchellpro356ADV]

We live in Fresno, so very close to you. Disciple Offroad is in Hanford but, I can't recommend them highly enough. Check them out!

I’m thinking about getting the EVO ENFORCER 2.5" SUSPENSION LIFT KIT, STAGE 2 WITH SHOCK EXTENSIONS,NO SHOCKS edition with the Fox 2.0 smooth body reservoir or 2.5 reservoir. Will this set up work? Thanks!!

[@ToddMitchellpro356ADV]

I would give Jeremy a call and Disciple Offroad and run that question by him. I would say though, if you're going to do a nice lift like that, complete it with new shocks as well.

[@mr2urbo01]

how's the ride after the suspension modication?

[@ToddMitchellpro356ADV]

I would say it's slightly stiffer but not tremendously noticeable. Also, you didn't ask but in case anyone is wondering, for fuel economy with the diesel engine with the lift and larger tires, I lost 2mpg approximately. Routinely 19mpg in town and 21-22mpg on the road..

@@ToddMitchellpro356ADV Have you had any experience with your diesel derating due to heat issues? I took the back roads back up the hill today from Fresno. I was hitting it pretty hard and watching the temps rise. I'd like to trade the Gladiator in for a diesel but I drive these hills and always seems to be towing something.

How does this drive on the freeway?

[@ToddMitchellpro356ADV]

To me, it drives great on the freeway. I really don't discern any difference from when it was stock. I think a lot of that can be attributed to the BFG K02's. They have been an outstanding tire.
