Caught the Bug
I thought it might be beneficial for those running the EVO JL Coilover system (and those considering the system) to have a place to discuss installation, set up, tuning, etc.

Will be doing the longarm coilover to my JLUR in a couple months. Has anyone done this to stock Rubicon axles?

What is your ride height? Can you measure from the ground up to first line in fenders using wheel center as guide?So recently while extending my shocks to check the nitrogen pressure in my reservoirs, I noticed that my springs were just barely seated. I increased my preload another half inch for a total of 2.5" of threads on all four corners. I'd could have sworn that the springs were pretty firmly seated at 2" a couple of weeks ago. Maybe my springs are breaking in?
Nitrogen pressure in my coilovers were/are 150 psi at all four corners (measured at full extension/droop).
Perfect!! About the same as mine now. I wanna run mine about an inch lower if I can. Thanks[emoji106]@Deezus this may work for you. Measured at the front driver's fender. Approx 45 7/8".

Thanks and I'll run them the same as what you have, it will work fine.I'm running the supplied/standard springs front and rear, seen HERE.
The measurements that I posted above is with 2.5" of threads above the coil nut. In my experience you will need at least 1.75" of threads just to achieve zero preload, possibly 2.0" or more once the springs break in. If I was to drop the height 1.0" by adjusting the coil nut alone, then I would not be at zero preload.
Unless you're armored and/or loaded up and running pretty heavy, you may find that you're going to need lower spring rates front and rear to sit an inch lower than I am now.

Question, are your rear passenger side coils adjusted for the gas tank or are the springs side specific, pertaining to rear passenger side droop like on the JK?

Do you have droop at the gas tank side?The springs are not side specific. I have all four corners adjusted the same.
Do you have droop at the gas tank side?
I ask because on my JK I had to adjust the rear to compensate.
Can you post a pic?

I'm gonna pull the trigger on the Evo long arm kit w/ coilovers. Can't decide on if I should go with adjusters or not, any thoughts or opinions?
