Coilovers and daily driving.
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.

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.

For racing and jumps, coilovers & shocks are tuned differently than for much slower offroading.

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.

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.
