EVO Manufacturing EVO-1005 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the instructions for the EVO Manufacturing control arm skids (EVO-10022, EVO-10023). This document provides a step-by-step guide for installing these skids to protect your JK front axle's lower control arms, emphasizing the need for professional welding. I'm ready to answer any questions you may have about the installation process.
  • Does this kit require welding?
    Can I install this myself?
    What should I do after welding?
EVO-1005 JK Front Lower Control Arm Skids
Caution: This kit requires welding. Welding creates a very bright arc that should not be looked at
without an approved protective shield/clothing. Welded surfaces and areas in their vicinity will
be very hot for a long period of time after welding. Please use caution. All welding should be
performed by a professional.
