Gonna start saving for a front and rear coil over set up. Need y'all's input on what you would recommend. 07 JKU, DD, 35's, 3"lift, river beds n rocks on weekends.

 

true coil overs or just a coil lift? true coilovers, KING all the way, just a coil lift, teraflex with elka shocks!

 

I would recommend doing lots of research and use more sources then just this forum. Understanding different set ups and mounting locations as well as how tuning is important to the set up of the individual rig.

You can buy kits from several companies that both bolt on or weld on or you can just order coil overs and determine your own bracket set up. Don't know you skill level with tools so that will be a factor in your decision. King is number one for a reason and parts are easily available for them or you can find several companies that can service them for you, I would say fox is a close second to them. Rock krawlers look like a nice shock but not too sure on the end user servicing of them. I have talked to guys that can't even get the coil rates from rock krawler or the valving specs.

 

Ya I been researching it and will continue to until I have the funds, so far I'm thinking King to go with. Also I've seen "bolt on" versions. I don't plan on getting rid of jeep, so welded vs bolt on?? To me welded seems more legit

 

Welded vs bolt on... doesn't matter if it is from a good company (Poly/Evo/etc)

bolt on towers can be replaced if things go wrong or you decide later you want the new long travel IFS kit.

King/Fox/Sway-a-way all make great coilovers that are user friendly to service and rebuild.

I think the happiness from a coilover suspension is entirely in the tuning after it is attached. plan on several spring and valve changes to make it YOURS.

dialing it in is the time consuming and hard part. dirt sports mag had a series of articles about coilover set up I think not was 10 or so... check the interwebs or pirate.

Good luck mere mortal

 

in my opinion if youre going to weld youre better off not getting a kit and just buying the parts you need and doing it all yourself. It will save you a ton and you dont have to worry about checking torques or the bolts shaking loose. i personally use ballistic fab for many items and my work for the others.

 

Ya I'm trying to wrap my head around all the tuning, the closest 4 wheel shop to me is OKC so I'm getting schooled by you fine gents and of course you tube! Gonna be a winter project so just gotta do my homework! Thanks a bunch for the input and I will let y'all know what I come up with
