if you're looking for just a basic coil over setup up front, both will get the job done well. if you're wanting to play harder, i'm pretty sure that off road evolution is the only one that offers a double throwdown system which has towers specifically engineered to maximize the benefits of a king triple bypass shock.



the rear is where you see the biggest difference. on the one hand, you have a kit that has HUGE coilovers dangling low and in harms way or, requires you to cut into the tub of your jeep...





and then you have off road evolutions evo lever that utilizes a state of the art cantilever system to provide extreme articulation while keeping your coil overs up and out of harms way and without cutting into your tub...



of course, you can also get this in an awesome double throwdown setup as well...


been running my off road evolution coil overs for over 2 years now and if you want to see how well it performs, all you need to do is watch some of our videos

The EVO MFG coilover are specifically tuned, sprung and valved for the JK. We did our homework to get the shocks to ride and perform on and off road the best. These are not off the shelf desert racing shocks.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ZT0Ne5lRo




The EVO MFG front coilover towers have the highest mounting position possible for the best LCG and lowest ride height possible accomidating 12" of usuable wheel travel with 3" lift and 35 tires to 14" of usuable wheel travel and 42" tires.
35s and 14" travel 3.5" lift


42s and 14" travel 5" lift


Same kit between these two btw



Available in single coilover and coilover and bypass configuration
Single



Double




All shocks are protected and mounted above the rear axle at all times




The EVOLever conbined with the EVO Long arm gives the upmost in ground clearance giving you 5" off added ground clearance under you axles. No one can compare to this feature.




The only coilover system to designed for street and off road with highly optimized rear roll center.




Front and rear single coilover are available in weldon and bolton. 99% of our customer prefer weldon, just like the factory.

Evo its the way to go for coil overs. Rebels system is awesome. Tribe 4x4 also offers an awesome system.

Any of them will perform great some are cheaper than others. Evo is the most expensive but also the best.

Question is do you need the best or do you need a really really nice coil over system

If you have the funds, go for evo. I have never once heard one complaint or a bad review on evo's systems

The EVO Lever is a bolt on kit and keeps your expensive coil overs 100% up and out of harms way unlike other kits that have them hanging way low and vulnerable to nasty rocks. Being that your coil overs are what hold your jeep up, breaking one would leave you high and dry. The EVO lever is simply a better and well thought out design.

+1. Just to add, the Rebel setup is slightly cheaper, but only by something like $500 if I remember right. $500 isn't much when it comes to buying a coilover setup. It's a big investment. For the extra money and insurance on the trail the Evo setup is the only way to go.
