Provided you've got enough lift in the rear to somewhat balance it out, Evo says you can run just front coilovers with no issues.

You should be fine. I ran with just the fronts installed for about a month or so with a 2" lift in back. The only downside was the front rode like a Cadillac and the rear like a pogo stick!

the post is about coil-overs, not springs and shocks. If you buy plush springs and shocks you will just throw them away when you buy coil-overs.

It will be okay with just front coilovers, dont know how long you could wait because the stock rear suspension doesnt really keep up with the front coil overs.

I'd order through EVO and call in your order that way they know how to set it up with the weight of your Jeep, maybe you will need heavier or lighter springs. Personally I think a 10" over 12" spring is best for the rear coil overs, the stock 12" over 12" springs requires you to have spring coil compressors if you want to do maintenance or change out coils, adjust/tune, or replace the sliders. I think EVO should give you options to upgrade to AGM sliders with a small fee, those little sliders are worth it.
