What are these coil-overs you speak of? Do they replace the stock springs? I got a 2" Mopar lift that had new springs and shocks - could I have done a coil-over instead?

Any experience with the evo bolt on setup. Im really debating going this route vs putting king or elka shocks on the corners.

As far as I know Evo doesn't make a bolt on set up. But check out rebel offroad they do. I don't really recommend a bolt on set up with coil overs just for safety reasons but I guess it just depends on your driving habits here are a couple pics of the install

The short arm kit that I have is the rough country flex arm. 4 ". But I will be removing all of it with in the next couple weeks.

Sorry to answer in soo many posts. Lol. But to answer your question about how do I like it. I love the coil over set up. But will love it even more when I get the rear complete and a 60 up front.
