Default Witch coil to buy?

I have a stock suspension with coil spacer and TeraFlex Tuned Fox Shocks... Should I buy TeraFlex coil or an other like rock krawler (progressive) or metal cloak (two rated) or evo plush?
This is my DD, so I want it comfortable... And I want it to flex a lot.
In a neat future I wish to put 8 control arms...

Thanks...

I'm really happy with the EVO 3" plush coils.

What tire do you have? What suspension?

Thank ya. Tires are Hankook Dynapro Mt's (they're okay, I don't love them, but they're not a bad tire, just balance badly). I built my 3.75"-4" lift using: Evo coils, Fox 2.o RR shocks, Rock Krawler lower and rear upper control arms, Currie front upper arms, some JKS, Clayton, and Full Traction in there too.

Ut oh. I was looking at the Hankook's.

OP I am still considering a new coil. Ran TF's and now RK's.
I want the height of the RK's in 2.5
EVO's or MC's 3.5's are my choices. AEV is they sold separate.

- teraflex/fox shocks
- synergy steering
- 35x15 KM2

Coils alone won't affect flex, if that's what you want to gain. Shocks yes. Coils will affect your ride quality, though.

How stiff are those 3 Eco plush? When you hit the brakes does the nose dive? Or stay level? Any body roll around corners?
I have 3" on my jeep, and prefer a stiffer less body roll spring.. I also have heavy front and rear bumpers..
Thanks...

I had AEV 3.5 coils paired with Fox 2.0 resi's on my Jk shortly before going to coilovers. I was very happy with them. Rig was about 5500 lbs at the time.

How do you like your evo coils? How much height did you get from them?

They perform great. Nice ride, smooth flex. They yield a bit over 3" of lift. I have 1/2" spacer on front, 1" on rear. Running 6" lift fox remote res shocks, I have lots of travel. Nice coils
