Understandable. Rough country coils vs rubicon coils are non comparable. The spring rates are different. Rubicon coils are cheap If you know the right people

I like my RE5.5 kit, though it rides pretty poorly. I understand it's a lifted Jeep and all but I think it's still a bit too rough. Maybe the shocks (es9000s), maybe the short arms, I dunno. It's been pretty solid offroad though... I'd like to do some reading and see if there's any tricks and tips to getting a better ride and more articulation

Short arms are up there at 5.5" lift. Might want to look into long arms for better ride and flex.

I wanna get a SYE so I can install this tcase skid and see if it's possible to make some midarms. I hear midarms or longarms are the way to go, but long arms may have too much articulation... I don't remember, I read it all a while back. Gonna start looking for tips and tricks, especially for the rear

For long arms on front can just do some limit straps. For rear shackle really helps out. The less arch in the leafs the better flex. Also relocation brackets help too
