Jerry, Ben and I were discussing this on my build thread but figured I might be able to pull some more advise on the JK specific thread.
Looking to address some suspension upgrades when I pull my axles for the 1 ton swap. Im currently avoiding larger weld on projects for a future stretch plan but I have room in the budget for something like the Evo bolt on coilovers.
Seems like the general consensus on JK bolt on coilover set ups is they don't quite reach the potential of what a coilover should be particularly in the rear and may not be too far above the performance level of something like an evo plush ride paired with king 2.5 res shocks.
My stretch plan is 10 years down the line and I definitely wanna get more potential out of my current suspension with a V8 and 1 tons for the time being but with the flooded market of high performance shocks and the relatively close in price to a bolt on coilover, I'm looking for some advise from people who have actually run the bolt ons VS something like a 2.5 res shock and coil and what is really worth it for the money for the time being before I cut it up and 4 link the rear.
For context my jeep is not a DD maybe sees 2-4k miles per year mostly off road with a 6.2L V8 and on the way a set of 1 tons and 38s
