while the TF coils provide a nice ride, in my opinion, they ride on the firm side and, based on what i hearing from you, may not be what you want.

as already mentioned, i think he meant to say "Rake" as in, the front end looking lower than the rear of your jeep.

I ordered a set of the EVO plush ride coils from northridge Canada, this should solve my problems.

thanks for the info

The EVO Plush Coils are a god send. My only complain is their height is less than my last 4" coil and they are softer so I have even less height. Worth the comfort for sure.

Thanks for the good words about the EVO Plush Rides.

Our coils are 4" of lift on a stock 4Door JK. If you want it taller just add a simple 1/2" - 1" coil spacer and you are good to go with a great ride.

I emailed you a few days ago Andrew about this issue and never heard back

I already have a 1" spacer and it still sags. I fear switching to a 2" spacer will do nothing but compress the coils further, rather than actually increasing my rear height.

I did not get an email from anyone in reference to springs, but give me a call or email me at info@evomfg.com. We can discuss.

I have a fully equipped 4dr. If I went with 3" springs how much lift would I truly get? I'm aiming for 2-2.5" lift. Also, since these are soft how much sag over one year??
