Default 4-inch Teraflex rough ride. Evo plush springs?

I have the 4-inch Teraflex full flex-arm lift, TF Elka shocks, and 35-inch Duratracs and find the ride on the street too harsh.

Currently running 30 PSI in the Duratracs but have run as low as 26 in experiments to soften the ride.

I was hoping that the Elkas would help a lot, but the main difference I noticed was a softening of the most extreme bone-jarring bumps.

Looking for alternatives, I'm considering the Offroad Evolution 4-inch "plush ride" springs,

Has anyone made the switch from TF to the Evo plush springs? How did you like it?

Any other ideas?

I have the 2.5" TF coil lift + ELKA shocks and it drives great. ELKA was a great improvement over the stock shocks. I am going to add shock wedges and an extra 1.5" coil spacer, fingers crossed this will keep my ride the same but the lift close to 4", will keep the forum in the loop about progress

Nobody? Anyone else got the EVO plush ride springs?

Servapurpose -- you out there?

I had a short highway drive between trailheads while aired down on Sunday. Really liked the ride at 20 PSI but that's not practical for daily use. Usually start at 15, but knew I'd have to drive on the highway.

However, that got me thinking... My Duratracs are load range D. Hmm.

I have the EVO plush springs and love them, I also have the king shocks from EVO and a few of their other products. I think you'll be happy with them

I had the Trailmaster Springs on my rig and have since swapped them out for the EVO Plushride Springs and can tell you that they are a far better ride both on and offroad compared to my previous setup. I am running the KING 2.0 shocks as well on my rig.

OH. MY. GOD.

I just installed the Evo Plush Springs to go with my new Elka's and holy shit. The difference is INSANE!!!!!

I don't know what coils I had before, but they were very, very tight and hard to compress. When I had them off I compared them to the Evo Plush and the difference was instantly apparent.

The Evo Plush are firm but nice and soft. Just took it for a test drive through the neighborhood to the every day bumps, dips and potholes and they freaking ATE IT UP! The Elka's really shine now as the Evo Springs are doing such a good job at addressing the immediate first impact and then it's just a soft bump from there.

I would recommend these like whoa. Have a shop install them though. Took me way too long

Bringing this back. I have 4 inch Tera with OME lt shocks. Not really liking my ride on road. I feel everything. Looking at EVO 4 inch plush springs and wondering anyone has before and after comparison or am I looking at apple to apples here. Anyone know the spring rates? Called EVO and they guy didn't know

Update: EVO called me and Said they can't give out spring ratings but did say it will be a softer ride than the teraflex. Good customer service to get me the answers I was looking for so buying the springs and see how they do. I will update onu thoughts between the 4 inch springs. I am also getting a 1 inch coil spacer to make up for lost lift with heavier bumpers.
