I ran in a jk with the evo coils a lot. I was actually shocked how un plush they were. Didnt seem to be anything special. Best thing is to try and get a shock that works best with the coils. Wayalife will make it sound like your rig is superman flying around the streets as elegantly as a sparkle covered unicorn with these coils..the only decent thing i saw about them was there were among the top of extended lengths when compared to other coils in the same range.
It is a very nice lift and I like it a lot.

Ha well played! Hey man as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters. Many people will like alot of different options if they were to try them. On a dd or moderate trail rig theres a ton id be happy to wheel in reality.

I run the 4" plush ride coils with rancho 9000 adjustables. The ride is very nice. My ford dealer owns a small 4x4 outfitter shop and they send us a lot of jeeps to line up so I get a chance to drive lots of different jk configurations. My Evo/rancho setup is much much softer than anything else I've driven besides really high dollar coilover setups. Handling is very tight and controlled. No sag after a year supporting a JKUR with a heavy warn 8274 on the front. Haters wanna hate but everyone whose ridden in my jeep is impressed.

Now I haven't messed around with different shock set ups etc. to verify the full potential or shortcomings of the coils so it's hard to say really.
I will say that the MC 3.5" coils "felt" like they absorbed bumps better with the same shocks I have now.
I do have about 3/4" more height with the Evo 's and in the year I've had them so far they haven't sagged a bit so they hold up well.

Ive run both the RK triple rates and EVO coils back to back. RK to EVO back to RK. I just did not think EVO coils are as plush as expected.
Of coarse ride is 100% subjective, others may have a different opinion.

I found that AEV are the best coils for me after using bds and evo I still like my AEV much better and the don't sag over time! Running a RK long arm with fox 2.0 shock

Stock Rubi bfg's. I commute about 80 miles a day and I'd like to keep the mileage up as much as possible. My goal was to keep the belly up as high as I could and still be able to fit in the garage. Of course having to shell out extra dough for cv shafts kinda sucked but overall I'm very happy with it.
