Default Coil help

Bought my JKU with a 3 inch teraflex lift kit. With the control arms and everything. Thing is after wheeling it a few times. It's rides awfully rough off-road and I would say pretty firm on road as well. So I was looking into the evo 3 inch plush coils.. Question is does anyone have experience with these or is there another company that would be more flexy and softer on road. Also what shocks would you pair with it. Total I would like to spend is about 400-500 on coils and under 500 on shocks.. Any input is helpful. Thanks guys

What tires, load rate, and psi?

Have you checked all of the bushings for wear? And have you tried loosening the control arm and trackbar bolts and shaking? Some people have had some luck freeing up binding bushings.

Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks get fairly good reviews, just pick the setting that works for you.

Mixed reviews on the plush rides. Some like them, others not so much.

I have the 4 " plush and I think my previous MC coils were definitely softer

Yeah I have the teraflex shocks. I was kind of thinking of doing the plush ride coils and then either the Rancho adjustables or fox

Save your money on the springs and invest in some quality shocks first. Ranch 9k have mostly positive reviews and I think even let you return if you don't like. Try those with different settings before spending more on new coils.

Agree, those shocks are too stiff.
