Pretty sick setup. Really need to run a full rough country long arm to take advantage of it though.

Maybe you guys are running super light jeeps?

I just took my top and doors off my jeep. It's certainly a little more firm and dances around a little more.

I just replaced my plush rides with metal cloak. I ran the 4" EVO's for almost a year. They always felt soft like a Boat on the water, constantly hitting bumpstops. They would be great on a lighter jeep. The metal cloaks are just a little firmer, but the ride is more stable.

See this is where opinions vary way too much to base a decision on when reading these forums.

I changed nothing but the springs and it instantly felt like RC coil stiffness.

MC coils where WAY more comfortable...they just clanked over bumps

What's making them clank? Is it not fixable?

The spring itself...Evo's make no sound. Weird for sure

Sounds sketchy! I had RC coils before this and now that you mention it, there wasn't but a slight difference from my RC coils to my Evo coils. Anyone want a package deal? Hahah
