Default So in theory

if one prefers a stiffer ride , they could eliminate the need for springs and shocks and make it a hardtail and feel its plush enough . We have all wasted our money and all we needed was to be home schooled by one who knows the human mind!


dont fix that ! Its in your mind and just re-assess your thought process

On another note, I would definitely air down more. I never ran more than 30. 38 is high
LOL wondered how others would take that....yeah maybe a little biased.

But I think if you have been in the Jeep hobby for some time plus age you might tend to get biased...no

I'm pretty much a newby when it comes to Jeeps but have had many diesel 4x4 trucks and a couple of suv's so I know my we way around them

Still have the mind set of higher tire pressure from my truck days pulling 5th wheels and boats....need to get over it 😉

Just remember, a day without Wayalife (AKA, Wayadouche, Wayaghey, Kim Jong Un's foreskin, etc.) is a day well served.

Does anyone with that coil/shock combo actually have experience with a loaded rig, or a before/after comparison? My experience with 5100's was with a light rig and two different coils, never ran the evo's.

My comments moving from MC/OME to EVO/Rancho are based on running a pretty light four door on 35" KO2 with 29 psi.
