I do. I think he went from stock control arms and the bolt on coil overs to the MC arms and coil overs. He noticed an immediate increase to on road quality. Best of both worlds. I would love to do this. Maybe EVO can send me the coil overs and ill run a test for them.

I could see if he went from a rigid joint to a rubber. But the factory's soft.

OP
I have ~20,000 miles on my EVO coils and love them!
The ride is unbelievably smooth. I put on a ton of road miles driving across country for JKX and have wheeled it there, Moab, Northern/Southern Nevada and California. Haven't had any of the previously mentioned issues with them yet.
I haven't towed with them as my boat is too heavy anyway.
I do not notice any sag when I'm all loaded up for the trail.
Never had them come out of their perch...sounds like a set up issue.
Ride quality is subjective, but I would find it hard to believe that there are coils that are more comfortable.
I'll look for some pics on my phone and add them to this thread. Not sure if you are running 37s or 35s, but I ran the lift with both.
I am not on this board very often any more, but feel free to PM me any questions.
Good luck!

Hard top. Unloaded cargo area.

This was fully loaded with the stuff I took on JKX plus several suitcases and boxes I had for work.
Hope this helps.

All i have to go in is word of mouth. I have no real experience with it. Like everything JEEP it's subjective to each person.

Not maxed out flex with EVO bolt ons (had a RC coil suspension at rear) and with stock control arms with the exception of front lower (TF)
Then, maxed out flex with EVO 4" plush coils on stock control arms with the exception of front lower (TF), springs did not pop out at all.
All control arms including TF control arm was binding, even my TF trackbar was binding...each of these EVO setups give great flex so I would definitely recommend upgrading arms with good flex and durability.
I'd like to try the MC control arms with the bolt on coilover one day, I know it would be amazing!
