For those considering coilovers. These two companies make coilovers that are well known. Watch this guy Wayoflife attack Rebel off road's coilover..

informative read btw

thats a painful read. That thread is a clear example of if you want actual, factual information, dont go to JKF. eddie is a dick. Plus, as clearly pointed out by folks who own both systems, 12" travel coilovers will give you plenty of flex; and any of the current coilover kits will give you a great ride and will dominate the trail. I love how theres no mention of the fact that the shocks only give you vertical travel, and without the proper set of control arms you'll still bind on flex.

best part of the whole thing, especially from where you linked it, is WOL saying to rebel that their claims of travel length dont count, because anyone can claim anything on the internet. so rebel went out, took pics, and proved it. then when WOL is asked the same thing, he claims he has nothing to prove. Unreal. Considering how hes the owner of the site, the amount of disrespect he shows both his users and his paying vendors in insane

yet people still stick up for him like hes got minions dedicated to him.

I hear what you're saying and I agree. I'm considering coilovers for our future rigs and quite honestly, evo is an amazing kit in all but it's a turn off when someone goes out of their way to attack the competition. it makes off road evolution look bad. but business is business.

which is sad, because as WOL himself pointed out, total droop in the front is limited no matter what if you dont modify the exhaust and crossmember. even if you put an 18" coilover in the front, you still need limiting straps to prevent it from hitting the crossover, no matter what. in the rear, yeah youre a bit more free in terms of total downtravel, but even then, there is still a limit to what you can do with a double cardigan. So essentially, he doesnt even care about useable travel, he just wants the most; even if that most is pointless because you go with a 2.5" lift just to get 10" of down travel (uptravel is overrated, amirite?)

Its sad too because I enjoy watching WOL videos I just don't like the "We are smart you are stoopid" attitude....its hard to understand too because Ive never met anyone like that on the trail. Also, they also want you to buy from vendors they want you too and that's ridiculous. What makes the Jeep so awesome is endless amount of choices and being able to customize a build. Just because someone breaks something from a certain company on the trail doesn't make everything that company makes garbage....
