Fully adjustable ride height a previously mentioned valving in some cases you can also adjust the dampening. Ride height can be adjusted with a couple special wrenches. Valving can be adjusted as Mel described in the video. Not to mention they're bad ass!

Beside the benefit listed in the quote above: Give ONE benefit of installing a coilover on your vehicle as opposed to a conventional spring and shock and specifically why and how a coilover gives this benefit.

The lowest CG possible by placing the coilover at the height possible mounting point with no modification to the Body/Engine bay
*Ideal coilover tuning/valving to insure the best ride possible with the ability to rebuild to alternative liking
*Proper dual rate spring rates and coil timing to insure an improved ride on road and offroad
*Adjustable ride height

Don't you love copy/paste

BTW, I had already ordered a T-shirt today. Told Lisa I use a size small.

Axle wrap eliminated
Fine tuning ability
Superior strength by design and components

I need to know the difference or advantages between the 2 kits BOLT ON or EVO Coilover kit which requires welding and grinding.

Which one I should go for? Is there any price difference or pros or cons between the bolt on or evo kit?

the bolt on are just EVO Spec King shocks made to replace your current shocks you are running.
the EVO coilover is a whole new beast and offers a wide range of adjustability as mentioned in the above posts. made to fully replace your coils and shocks.
check out their website as Mel and his team do a phenomenal job with product descriptions .... www.offroadevolution.com you will also see the price difference.

Another plus, the coils can't fall out, which has been known to happen on rigs with mega flex and traditional coil/shock setups.
