Do you think plushride coils are the softest/most comfortable on road? If so elka's and plushride coils will be included in my lift...Will also likely be going long arm or using the drop brackets by aev or one of the other companies that makes them.

I ran them for close to a year and loved them...prevented the nose dive when braking hard, and it performed well both on and off road. But I have decided to sell them as I have gone with King coilovers. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Elkas in the future.

Friday night I will have these springs with the Rubi Express Super flex kit in. I have a few friends running these shocks already on a Teraflex lift. Nothing but positive reviews!

The 5100s are not that pleasant after a while, on my 2-door. I cannot go over 26 PSI on my 35" MTRs and 22-24 feels much better. They dampen decently but feel bit too firm. Just ordered the Elkas, and have my fingers crossed.

I've run the same springs with AEV tuned Bilsteins, OME sports and the Elka's. The Elka's transformed my vehicle, I love them! I read a report where someone criticised the harshness but I've had exactly the opposite experience. The ride is so smooth compared to the other shocks. I think they're outstanding.

My JK still rides too rough for me. Next steps are EVO plush springs and load range C tires.
