I've heard they were stiff unless you get adjustable shocks or the EVO spec shocks to go with them.

I have two customers that run the Evo coils and they both love them. Caveat, they are both using them as their first lift's on JK's so I can't say that can do an honest comparison. That being said, personal experience I've never run them but have heard very few complaints about them.

Funny because i thought the the same. Well not stiff but not as soft as people say they are. Honestly I expected a "plush" coil, not really the case.

My thoughts BDS.Suspension Lift with Fox shocks is something to look in to.

I'm running the 2.5" 4dr kit on my JKUR. It netted me just about 3-3.25 inches of lift and I was expecting it. I know they were in the R&D stage for the 2dr kit and I'm not sure if they finished it. They can answer any questions you might have about their kit and now offer a kit with Fox shocks so you already have half the upgrade.

I have the 3" Plush Ride and love them. They are a little stiffer than say Teraflex, or stock Rubi springs, but if you start adding weight like bumpers and a winch and start hitting rough offroad, the lil extra spring is nice to have. I can tell you I haven't had a single issue with them and they are true to height after 6k miles.

I haven't tried the Synergy springs yet but I run their control arms, drag link and steer correction kit and know they make a good product.

To the op, you'll get lots of opinions (including mine), but in the long run you'll have to try several before noting a difference to really compare. Getting coils from any vendor on here and you'll be good.

Good luck and happy wheeling.

i have the 3" EVO Plush coils, and I love them. I had the Teraflex 2.5" before these, and it is a night and day difference. The EVO ride so smooth.

There is a shop here in the denver area that was telling me bds makes some good lifts, although they dont get the publicity as others like teraflex or synergy.
