Default front 12" evo coilovers worth it?

Hi

Just wondering if any one has done this and their opinion? How hard is it to do your self, if you can weld?

The bolt on version is only for the back lever. The fronts have to be welded.

The 12" coilovers are very worth it! WOL has 12" on his Jeep and it flexes very well. The coilovers do everything very well, including street manners which was also very important to me.

Default Evo coilover

Would it be possible to run 14" coilovers with short arms in case you wanted to upgrade to longarms in the future?
