What exactly are you wanting out of a lift? What will YOU be doing? What size tires? I'm not going back and reading.
I want to build my jeep with 37s on the factory axles until they fail (matter of when, not if), and will likely upgrade the axles and make the jump to 40s at that time. I have absolutely no need to be doing 60mph in knee high whoops, so again, I do not feel like I would utilize the DTD system, and thus do not wish to waste my money on an "Over the top" setup, while I am in no way saying the DTD is a waste of money. My point is that it will be more suspension then I would EVER need, and its not free. :yup:
I would like to keep as low a center of gravity as possible, with maximum articulation with clearance for 37-40" tires. that is really the goal. The jeep will be wheeled, and driven all over the place, and I currently daily it. We are planning on using it as our main vacation destination. so we will/do spend a LOT of time in the jeep.
Towing is not something of a concern at this point.
The jeep is manual, and will stay manual. I do not plan on a V8 Swap. I want to build a nice jeep, with excellent on/off road manner. not an "over the top" sponsored $100k+ rig. I plan on visiting premier off road parks across the nation over time, maybe 2-3 "destinations" per year, and then local wheeling for fun perhaps every other weekend or so. Local places here are pretty much a joke, so I usually make the drive out the rocks (7hr round trip) and considered "Local"
Again, I'm just trying to learn and understand the real life differences of the options that are out there. I am trying to avoid buying mistakes, which is why we are all here in the first place...:yup:
So again, can someone please explain the difference between the 12" coilover vs the 14" coilover? Both are advertised to provide the same articulation (14" vertical)? Why offer both??
What are the benefits and drawbacks of the EvoLever (WITHOUT triple bypass shocks) opposed to the bolton rear coilovers in the real world with things like weather? highways? Washing? servicing? 100k+ miles?
