On my next round of mods I am looking into coilovers on my JKU. I would like to run a 3.5 to 4 inch lift with 37. Currently I am running a teraflex long arm with 35s. My question is how do coilovers work on a daily driven jeep. How is the ride? Will I have to be adjusting them constanly? I'm looking for something that will give me the least issues.

The ride on coil overs is awesome! I have no issues whatsoever, nor have I heard of anyone else having issues. Enjoy the upgrade

Why do coilovers? They are great for off-road racing, but otherwise bling IMO.

im running them on my rig/daily driver, ride is good. No complaints here.

Coilovers are pleasant on the road. It's, however, the shocks' valving, rather than the coils, which determine most of the ride softness.
Coils can't be too different from each other, as they all have to keep the Jeep at the same height. Make the coil much softer and it would sag.

Their coil/shock combination might be what you want.

Coilovers allow more articulation, an advantage when crossing challenging obstacles.
For racing and jumps, coilovers & shocks are tuned differently than for much slower offroading.

Question for the guys running coilovers, which brand are you running? I was planning on going with kings but I'm open to other suggestions

Best thing I added to mine. It's the wife's dd. She usually takes a twisty route for a commute. She loves the way it handles after the install. I'm running EVO/King. Though running different spring rates. I would suggest AGM sliders also though, otherwise listening to the stock sliders gets old. If you have the cash, you won't regret them.

Highwayman, did you go with the EVO bolt-on front and rear?

BB, yep. Those are the ones I'm running. In conjunction with airbumps & teraflex arms (8).

Coilovers are awesome both on and off road. Make sure you get control arms with Johnnie joints though as you will blow out the bushings on other control arms with all the flex you have.
