Coilover vs standard sping lift

So then take what you want from it or turn the channel. I assume you have a mind of your own - use it
The coil overs are adjustable and can be set for pretty much any ride height you want.

Why is there a need to bash another companies products? Yes EVO may be the best but does that require the bashing of another manufactures products. Why isn't it possible to put the statistics from the 2 kits side by side and let someone choose? Being an active member of a forum becomes less appealing when the moderators and operators of the forum are bashing everything they don't like.
Depends on what kit you get. The new upcoming EVO bolt on coil over kit comes with the brackets and coil overs and all for what should be about $3500. While you can certainly run it with short arms, I would recommend that you at least get a drag link flip/ track bar relocation system up front, track bar relocation bracket for the rear, longer rear swar bar libks, exented brake lines, adjustable front lower control arms and a new front drive shaft.

Because they are sponsors and they do make the best.
WOL is fortunate enough to live/eat/breath JK for a living. More often than not, he really does know what he is talking about but, the answer isn't always 12k+ worth of CO, at least not for all of us.
He gets to play with the best toys out there and he does have sponsors to make happy to afford/get his hands on those bad ass toys. I also doubt he would ever push a shitty product to make a buck.
I do agree he could be a little more receptive of people or address their thoughts in a kinder manner but, like the rest of us, he can say whatever he pleases...freedom of speech is a bitch.
So, let's all go on with trying to drive each other nuts and keep talking Jeep and agreeing to disagree ;-)

The new EVO bolt on coil over system will most likely be available for around $3500. Also, I never said anyone's product was shitty, I simply pointed out what I have seen and that's one kit offers only 9.5" of vertical travel and another offers 14" and still another offers 12". Take from that what you will but those are the facts and they can be proven. Again, just because people dont like what they're hearing doesn't mean I am bashing anything. But, I'm sure people will believe what ever it is they want to believe
Not saying you said anyones product was shitty, was just sayin.
I hope it is only around $3500.00...now that I can somehow justify in my head to fit in my budget down the line
Either way, keep up the good work

Ok so on any kit ( generally speaking ) the tire is only able togo as high as clearance and bumpstops allow. So is the droop/drop where the coil over is superior compared to spring in the over all flex?
