Default New Coils

I have a 2012 JKU sahara with an RC 3.5 inch series 2 lift. I want to replace the coils with possibly the 4 inch Evo plush coils. What will the effects of the taller coils be. I have as far as heavy bumpers or anything that adds weight.

Had these 4" plush coils as my previous setup, it's more like a 3" - 3.5" with full bumpers and hardtop, tire carrier w/ spare. Had the front lower adjustable control arms to adjust my camber and also you need an aftermarket front driveshaft for the 4 door unlimited. A draglink flip and trackbar relocation bracket should be used for this kit as well. I ran these with bilstein 5160's and it flexed / rode pretty smooth on the highway. If you have a really heavy front end you will need 1" spacers up front cause it will sag a bit. Someone in this forum will be selling this set soon as he will also go coilovers.

Yeah I have already talked to him lol. I was asking him about the springs and how he likes them and told me about what he has planned.

No I just asked him to let me know when he takes it off. We all 3 should get together. Y'all are way more modded than me but I will catch up one day.

Yea let us know when you're ready to hit the trails, running 37s gets expensive and that's what I'll end up doing as well...maybe 40s.
