JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default What Coilovers are you Running?

Put up your driveway or action shots, want to see your Coil over suspension on the Jeep.

I'll start, EVO King bolt-ons front and rear, w/ AGM sliders, adjusted to a 4" lift.

Looks good!
Ordered a set of Radflo 2.0, 12" for the front this morning! Will order the rears once I get the bilsteins back and sell them.
Have any pics of how yours sits now(on a level surface?)

Sweet man, you will be happy with coilovers let me know if you want to experiment with different spring rates, I've got a set of 200 & 250. I'll get the wife's camera out and take some photos of how it sits on flat ground.

Did you get a 2.0 or 2.5 shock?

I went with a 2.0 shock with the 7/8" shaft. I ordered a 14" main spring, and 10" secondary, so swapping won't work. Like you, I'm sure I will be changing out springs a few times to find a good balance!

What brackets you getting or yours come with that kit? Let me know when you're installing them, I would like to check it out.

Both sets are weld in, so that will be a fun experience. I need to get some taller jack stands for the house(Don't want to leave it on the lift for the week or two it will take to do everything.) You can stop by anytime to check it out, I will send you a txt or a PM when I get the mounts in and I am ready to weld them on.

That genright hoop looks good painted, you should powder coat or paint it sunburst orange.
how much does this setup bring you back? So far everything looks economical, of course assuming you're doing all the labor. So if you're removing the shock mounts, you're going to have to get a set of air bumps too?

Without bumpstops I should be right around $2200
I will figure out the bumpstop situation once I have the coilovers fully installed.

So much better!! Hopefully by the time I'm done mine sits about the same. I went a bit stiffer in the rear to account for the heavy ass wheel/tire I have hanging off the back.
