I had that kit on my 2010 jku and I was disappointed. The rear springs bowed and the front sagged. I was much happier with my full traction I had on my 12. I hope your experience is much better.

My pro comp isn't sagging at all in the front and rear springs look good. Happy with flex and offroad but just the shocks need to be changed. Getting some noise from the front end going to re check all the torques on the bolts. Only 25k km o it so far. Wish it had adjustable LCAs tho. Eventually upgrade to rock Krawler or similar.

This is exactly my point, even the best coils will ride bad with cheap shocks. If you're unhappy with your suspension really sit back and think about the way a suspension works. The springs are the "muscle" of the suspension, where as they support the vehicle and hold everything together. While the shocks are the "brains" they control the way the Jeep reacts to bumps and jounces. They are what really makes or breaks a suspension system.

I hope this explains some for you guys. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

I know I was just stating what ride I have. I know it's the shocks. Coils are fine from pro comp, lot of people say there good. Shocks will be changed as well as a drag link flip and everything should be good.

So are you suggesting I upgrade my RC shocks to Bilstein's firet to see if it rides better before swapping springs?

My first lift was RC 2.5 Coils w/ Rc shocks. Swapped out the harsh RC shocks for Bilstein 5100's, was a HUGE improvement. Might try that before swapping your coils.
