I wanted a bit more lift height especially in the front. The Metalcloak springs are kind of like a spring on a spacer created by the compressed soft rate. There was a noticeable rake to the front and I didn't want to put a spacer on a quasi spacer created by the soft rate spring. I like the Evo Plush coils and the length is the same as the metalcloak coils but with a level ride height. I have no regrets, but for the money, I would go bolt on coilovers. If you do go with Metalcloak, I would recommend any of the kits with Fox shocks instead of 6paks.
Listen to the guys here because this forum is more of a community for enthusiasts who use the stuff rather than a captive audience to market solely for the sponsors. So many are fans of EVO mostly because they know what works. After speaking with Mel Wade for a brief time, he makes a lot of sense with building a JK with reliability in mind. He builds mild to wild but still gets you home.
Hope this helps.
Yes it helps. I'm still in the saving $$ for my build stage and haven't settled on anything yet. My JK is my only vehicle and will be for some time. And I do make 2 hour interstate trips from time to time.
The wheeling we do locally isn't too extreme but I plan on expanding to more extreme places and events in the future.
