King Coilover Spacers Install
Installed AGM spacers on the 2.0 KING coilovers, what a difference. Noticed the stock spacers allowed alot of grinding and were not properly aligning the coils.
Test drive went well, no noise!, straighter coils, and actually slightly better ride. Worth the extra $$$. Definatley getting some for the rear coilovers as well.

Dude, you should here the stock spacers off roading. Really noticed them when slow crawling...everyone says they're normal, but I knew the shock bodies wouldnt last long with all that grinding, binding, and rubbing. The ride got a little smoother as well, guess straighter coils help. The AGM spacers go for $200 (1 set only). Now, gotta go on a Raman noodle diet for a week to get the rears matched!

How difficult is it to install these?
How big of a difference is there in noise? Is it completely gone or somewhat less than before?

I just got the evo lever kit as well and there is quite a bit of noise when hitting bumps and dips on the road. I suppose this is the fix?

The noise, grinding, clicks, binding in general went away..almost totally! I dont even notice anything up front anymore.
The installation is fairly easy, I did one side at a time. First remove swya bar links or unlock your sway bar. Next I just release compression preload on the springs by moving the adjusters all the way up, drop axles, only removed bottom shock from mounts, remove spring retaining cups and drop the springs, and replaced spacers. Took about 1 hour up front. Good luck

Just looked on EVOs website, they have a picture with a Jeep with red coilovers and It has dual rate springs, so if your application is similar to this you should be able to install aftermarket spacers. Maybe EVO can chime in
