simply doing properly tuned coil overs with hydraulic bump stops will give you the go fast set up. I was hitting 60 at the hammers a couple years ago and stopped there because I didn't have a top doors or helmet on and if something go wrong at speed it typically goes really wrong. The only thing that I really noticed then was I needed more up travel because as a crawler set up with long travel shocks I only had 4" of up travel. I should have that worked out now with my current build and have moved to 7" of up travel on the front and rear with 18" 3" triple bypass and 2.5" coil overs on each corner while keeping the lift in the 4.5"-5" range.

Jordy - thats awesome man! Which shop did your install? I am leaning more towards a simple coilover setup to save money and put it towards my adventure trailer build, but still really want the double throwdown 😆 i am looking for a simple solution to go fast, not to have the most unique or cost effective setup. If I have to spend an extra $1-2k to get a ready to go headache free kit, I would prefer that, as this JK is my daily and I cant afford to have it in the shop for too long

I agree with the compression side of things as I'm sitting on 5-6", but I'm also on 40's and somewhat tall, so cranking it up isn't something I'm looking to do as it has done everything I've asked of it, going fast or crawling, so I can't complain.
