I have been looking for some soft ride springs with about a 2 to 2.5 lift. I now have the Mopar 2 inch lift ones. So far looks like EVO makes a soft ride linier type spring. Does anyone have these? does anyone know of soft springs.

I am also after the softest ride I can get since a majority of my time is spent on pavement. From everything I have read it seems Synergy springs with Fox 2.0 shocks is the best route. If someone knows otherwise please feel free to beat me up before I drop some money on these in the next month or so.

I love the ride quality on the Metalcloak 2.5GC, RockSports. I feel that this combo has a better ride over the OE Rubicon suspension.

I have tried the metal cloak, Rubicon take offs and EVO works the best. Best suspension I have used.
I first went with EVO plush ride 2.5 then 3.5 and now running EVO 4.5 plush ride.
The EVO plush ride ride better than my wife's Rubicon.
I now have that long smooth travel I was looking for.
Back in April I spent a week in Sand Hollow and a week in Moab. I may have bottomed out the suspension but never had a hard hit.

EVO is located not far from me, I might have to take a drive to them or just call Synergy as I have several of their items already. Thanks.

What are you hoping to improve going from Mopar 2" lift springs to soft 2-2.5" lift springs?

If you're trying to make the ride softer, shocks will do it better than coils.

Note that I already have Fox 2.5 remote res adjustable tune softer by Accutune.
Synergy springs are a softer spring than the Mopar lift springs and have the same lift I have now..

Have you asked Accutune what they think?

I am also running fox 2.5 and I love them with the EVOs.

Accutune sells Rockjock springs. EVO springs are a linear full length spring so the entire length is active spring. Synergy and many of the others are. a dual rate spring that looses some length in coil lock to allow for a longer unsprung length. The EVO springs could be the better riding spring. But Synergy is a very high quality spring. Both say they are a better ride over Mopar. I wonder where Mopar got their 2 inch lift springs from.

You are right.
Some dual rate spring are collapsed on the top leaving 2/3 of the spring working under normal condition.
That's the problem I had with the medal cloak springs and why I removed them after a week.

Yes Mineral springs are very soft springs 😂
I thought the original Rubicon springs were tremendously soft too soft it nose dived all the time. I changed all that went with a dual rate springs from teraflex and Falcon shocks.
Stiff shocks equals tougher ride on pavement and better handling off road and swoops .

With EVO plush ride and fox 2.5 I get the best of both worlds.
Plush ride on road and when off road a few clicks on the shock stiffens up the suspension for the harder hits.
