I've had both the EVO coils and Metalcloak. I was using different shocks on each setup, but both provided a good ride. If I had to choose I would pick the metal cloak for their length when uncompressed.

the length on yours may not be what he needs on his...How he sets up his shocks and how much travel he has will determine that. Although on his set up he is probably going to have to have atleast 4" lift to keep coils seated depending on travel. If i had to guess youd be correct though he will need a long extended length coil. Although rk mk and synergy are all damn close.

I'm mainly looking for ride quality. My set up now i bought my jeep with it and needless to say its horrible. So I'm just fixing the previouss owners mess ups. My set up right now is a 3in BDS lift with some sort of 2in body on 37s. So I'm redoing the suspension and taking the body lift off. So I'm trying to get a good ride quality and run my 37s. But I wheel pretty hard. As much rock as I can. Not a lot in western PA.

I rode around on stock rubicon suspension with flat fenders and 37s for a few weeks and the ride was bad.. I feel that the metalcloak arms/springs and fox shocks rides better than my stock suspension with the 37s.

Yeah.
The guy I bought the shocks from replaced them with kings and mentioned the kings were softer than the fox over bigger bumps. Ive tried a lot of different suspension setups, and the softest I ever rode in was a buddies with Evo valved king coilovers. I will probably end up with a set of their coilovers when I have the money.
