You can pair the kit with Rancho or Bilsteins to save a little money over the Kings. It will stil ride soft
I've always been more a desert fanatic and I've always wondered if you guys ever thought of running a I beam 4x4 system on a jeep? Kinda like the buggy Robby Gordon ran at koh last year? What do you think? A friend has a 95 bronco and is running 19 inches up front running bypass , 2.5 coilovers and bumpstops! Ran it last weekend and I was impressed of how it handled at high speeds.

but the double throw down EVO lever system was inspired by desert racing. It will go faster than your JK is capable of

It all just depends on what you want,,, there are bolt on coil over systems for a little cheaper,,, and then there are all the systems that come with the springs and shocks. The fact is,,, if you go with a reputable company and shocks, your gonna have a nice ride with a lot more off road ability. Its all fun!!! You just have to come to an agreement with yourself on what is important to you

Most of my driving is on the street (probably 80/20). When I go off road I am in the pan of Texas on dirt roads and overland type stuff, in North West Arkansas in trails, and going through passes in Colorado on my way to trail heads. I don't do any crawling like you have in your picture earlier.
If you cant afford the King 2.0, go with a Bilstein 5100 shock

Have a question. I have rock krawler lift that pushed the rear end back an inch. Will the bolt on coil overs work in the rear still????? Thanks in advance!

it will work, your only issue will be needing to relocate the rear swaybar further back than what our relocation brackets give. You would just need to drill and tap the frame for the bolts.

it will adjust to your desired height with 35's and look great. There's not a lift kit on the market that can touch the road manners of this kit, If you are looking for the softest ride possible this is it. You dont need a stiff suspension to wheel or crawl btw.
Heres a link to the parts
Front bolt on coilovers
Rear Bolt on Coilovers
EVO Front lower adjustable arms
EVO Drag Link flip
