Default EVO plush ride + King bypass shocks

Looking for feedback on the EVO plush ride coils. Mostly concerned about feedback on highway and dune wheeling.
If anyone has paired them with King's bypass shocks I'd love to hear your feedback specifically.
This is the route I'd like to go next getting the 3" coils.

Do not have the King Bypass shocks but I do love my 3inch EVO Plush Ride coils. Handles really well on the road and give a softer ride off road but not anywhere near Coilovers.

Cannot talk about dune riding because we do not have dunes in Fort Worth.

It doesn't seem like too many people are using the bypass unless paired with coilovers.
Were the EVO coils your first set or did you have previous coils to compare them to?
I'm also looking at the metalcloak dual rates.

I don't have the EVO coils but I have the RK triple rate paired with kings bypass with the adjustors and I love it you can set them any way you like soft or hard is probably if not the Number 1 mod one of my favorites along with JW speaker led headlights.
As far your question on the highway they handle great very little to almost none nose dive on hard braking I driven on the beach a few times and paired with the king air bumps are great also some rock crawling and they perform just awesome.

I just switched from running MC 2.5" coils and OME shocks to EVO 3" and Rancho 9K's. I am very pleased with the ride. It is much smoother now and I enjoy the ride quality better while on the street. It's softer or plush. Road imperfections are soaked up better. Haven't gotten the EVO off-road yet, but it won't be dunes anyway.

I have the Evo Plush Ride Coils and Rancho 9000 shocks. Rides great and has a oft feel that soaks up road bumps well.

What made you decide to go with the RK triples over some of the other options?

Very interested in this feedback. Basically the exact setup I'd like to try out next. What is your shock length? 14"?

I've had the EVO plush ride coils with Fox shocks and now that RK Triple rate could with fox. I like the EVO coils but found them too squishy, especially when loaded up for a trip. The RK coils seem to handle the weight better. Then have more travel and I like the little extra firm ride over EVO. RK isn't harsh just feels more solid. Especially when cornering.
