You will need lower front adjustable control arms, drag link flip and a front driveshaft .

Please let me know if you have any questions, or give me a call

Shocks which can be re-valved allow tweaking the suspension softer or harder, according to what you like. I used Fox shocks w/ reservoir.

For front driveshaft I use the JE Reel 1350.
EVO plush coils are the softest coils I have ever rode on. yes, i've drove a couple of the other coil lifts you mentioned. OME is on the firmer side IMO

I wasn't happy with rubicon express. I just replaced my 11 month RE super flex lift 3.5" with rock krawler. Much happier now! Rubicon express lift has really light weight controll arms ( flimsy ) and all the bushings were worn out and squeaking in the first 2 months. And I did grease the zerks.

Chris,

It depends on which OME coils you experienced, they have different models (at least they had back then, when I checked).
Also, as you surely know, it also depends of the shocks' valving, which could have made the suspension harder.
I drove a JKU with OME coils and it was soft.

As for the Full Traction, I'm happy with the combination of their coils and Fox shocks, re-valved for them.

My suspension is quite new, but everything is possible. Maybe, one day, I'll change to the EVO coilovers...
I hear only good things about them, and would really want to feel them in person.
So... In case you drop by this part of the world, don't forget the Jeep at home...
