Default EVO System decisions

Hi all, I was wondering what anyones preference might be and if you have any comments. I am trying to understand the pro's & con's of each setup with an eye on the future - 2dr stock JK with 35" tires and 17x9 wheels 4.5 backspace is the plan

Thanks a lot

Option 1:

1) EVO front coil over system with 2 KING coil over shocks - 12"

2) EVO Plush Ride 4” Lift JK Coil Springs – Rear

3) 2 EVO spec KING direct bolt in shocks – 4-7” lift - Rear

4) I realize there are some other items I should pick up right from the start as well. Like JKS Adj TB's

Option 2:

1) EVO Plush Ride 4” Lift JK Coil Springs – 2 Front & 2 Rear

2) EVO spec KING direct bolt in shocks – 4-7” – 2 Front & 2 Rear

Option 3:

1) EVO Enforcer 2.5 (w/ 2.5" Diameter EVO SPEC King Remote Reservoir Shocks)(This is a 3.5” lift)

System Components:

a) EVO Plush Coils combined with EVO SPEC 2.5” reservoir shocks

b) Front Adjustable Lower Control Arms

c) Rear Roll Center correction trackbar bracket

d) Brake line Extensions

e) Front and Rear Bump stop Extension to clear 35" Tires


Appreciate any thoughts and am trying to understand which would be best for my launch and the future.

If anyone can provide real world direct comparison between these products is EVO. I would start by talking to Mel and company and ask them about the details of each option.

I don't have any experience with these lifts but from other jeeps I have been in it is tough to beat a coilover. I think either of these lifts would be awesome though.

I haven't had the chance to ride in a jeep with kings on it yet, but I plan to add them when I do my hemi conversion. I hear they are amazing, but will cost you a pretty penny lol
