I'm interested to hear from those with a 2dr that have run both a short arm and long arm lift. I'm running evo's bolt on coilovers and to get any decent amount of up travel out of the rears the jeep is sitting around 4" of lift. Needless to say the highway ride sucks, so beyond most likely having to re-valve the shocks I'm curious if upgrading to long arms will produce any noticeable improvement in ride quality.

 

On the two door you will notice more difference than the 4 door owners. Will it make a major difference in your ride quality? Some say yes, other say no since its really subjective.


From personal experience owning a 2 door Jk on short arms and long arms. It was worth it for me. It was not a major improvement but it was noticeable. Hope this helps...

 

I've got EVO coil overs and had to fine tune my rears. I ended up with 150/200 lb springs. The stock EVO coilovers are actually made for heavier jeeps w/ hardtop, full bumpers, tire carrier, and some gear. Although I do have a 4 door, and long arms are not needed if your lift doesn't exceed 4". The long arms will certainly help, but it is all about spring rates. First I would try going to cheaper route with 150lb coils- if it don't soften the ride then go long arms.

 

I'm currently running 150/200 in the rear and it bottoms out too easily regardless of how I setup the timing rings. Before that I ran 200/200 and it was too stiff just crashed over everything, because of this I suspect a possible valving issue.

 

Not completely true on how its set up, We did make some minor changes to the coilover set ups after the intial launch to better fit the needs of the majority of jeep owners.

 

You have a odd set up for what your are trying to accomplish, I think you have talked to Andrew about this already, Your more than welcome to call us so we can work through the issues.

 

What all tweaks do you guys end up doing, same coil rates, different valving, different spring lengths? I need to know
