Which 2.5 Coils to get?
I am going to do a 2.5 coil lift, with the intention to add control arms down the road. I have a 2013 JKU Moab edition. So it has the AEV front and rear steel bumpers already.
Primarily street driven on shitty Cleveland, Ohio pot hole roads. once or twice a month some trails, no extreme rock crawling. This is my Daily Driver.
Want to run 35s. Will most likely be getting the Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks.
My questions is what is a better quality coil for 2.5 inch lift?
Would linear coils be better or Progressive coils. I also dont mind spending the money now on better coils.
I have been leaning towards the RK 2.5 stock mod kit since it does come with front track bar. Have ehard good things about their coils and the fronts are progressive.
Just wondering what coils would be better: RK, Teraflex, AEV, or anything else. looks like rough country & Rubicon Express tend to be a cheaper coil.
Thanks for the help, Been doing alot of reading and listening to opinions.

The RK 2.5 Stock mod kit, are the coils triple rate? someone said they had 2.5 triple rate coils on their jk, or is Progressive = Triple rate for RK.
If i go RK for coils i imagine the Stock mod kit is the way to go as it comes with the front track bar and rear bracket, the kit is cheaper than pricing separately.
I heard the Rancho 9000 shocks are really good shocks.

sounds like the RK coils are the way to go for me from all ive read.
Next ?
Is the JKS track bars (front, and rear) any better than doing just the RK front track bar and rear bracket?
Reason i ask, i can get the RK 2.5 stock mod and add the LCA, or I can get the RK 2.5 Coils, and go with JKS front and rear track bars (no need for rear bracket than i believe) and throw on some LCA and some bumpstops and end links.
Still want to go with the Rancho 9000 i think vs Bilstiens. I like the adjustability of the ranchos for street comfort.
Thoughts?
