Default evo suspension

Im looking at lifting my 2010 unlimited Rubicon auto. I wanna fit 35s with no rubbing and running stock fender flares. I have a aftermarket front bumper now and a warn powerplant. I will be doing a rear bumper soon. I was looking on the evo site and noticed 4" plush ride coils is anyone running this setup with pics? Or can anyone tell me what kit would be good for me it will be used mostly street with some trail and beach time. I was looking at teraflex rockcrawler bds and evo but open to any ideas just looking for the best riding and complete kit that I wont have to buy tons of extras for

our orange jk is riding on the evo plush ride coils now. and of all the 4" coils we've tried in the past, these are definitely some of the most comfortable. with heavy bumpers, winch and tire carrier holding a heavy 37" toyo mt, our final ride height is more like 3.5" and totally level. if there's a downside to these coils, it's that when you're really loaded up with family, a dog, recover gear and camping gear, the rear end will sag. i have installed a set of teraflex 1" rear coil spacers to help compensate for this.

Thanks is there any other kits you would recommend. I pull a trailer from time to time so might want some stiffer springs. I was looking at some short arm kits from other companies but not sure if I need all eight adj control arms and who is the best for what im looking for

if you get a set of OME HD coils, you'll find that they hold up nicely under load but, the ride is a bit on the firm side when unloaded. if you mainly are looking for a nice ride and aren't as concerned with articulation stuff, i might recommend a set of dual rate coils like the kind that currie makes.

I have these coils and I can concur that they give a very comfortable ride. I was running Rough Country coils before and they were quite a bit stiffer although better than stock coils. I have a 1 inch. spacer in the front and a 1/2 in. in the back to help level out the jeep's heavy front end with bumper and winch. If you are looking for a smooth ride, the EVO coils may be the ones
