    Nice! I used to have a RK 2.5 X Factor (mid/short arm) but am now running all Rokmen arms, EVO Plush Ride springs (3") and just ordered my Elka reservoir shocks. Will have to meet up sometime.

    Very interested in understanding the combination of the EVO plush springs and Elka socks. I go the Elkas two years ago to upgrade from the TF 9550s that came with my Teraflex 4-inch full flex-arm lift and have so-so thoughts about them. My ride is too rough. Should have probably spent the money on re-gearing instead.

    Thinking of going to a load rang C tire (from load range D; unfortunately, the Goodyear MTR w/Kevlar or BFG KM2 appear to be the only load range C options in 35x12.5x17) and the EVO plush springs to soften the ride.

    My ride is too firm with the 5100 and so the Elkas are my next option. I think RK (at least their 2.5 springs) and EVO make the softest springs. Are you running the Elkas with RK springs right now? I'll let you know how the Elkas work out. If they are no softer than the 5100 or don't have better damping, I'll just sell them. I am running C-rated MTR Kevlar 35s.

    I'm running the Elkas with the Teraflex springs, Teraflex 9550 shocks, and load range D Goodyear Duratrac tires.

    I have 3 inch Synergy springs I just took off to replace with the EVOs. There was no difference, sadly...wasted money. In fact, I probably prefer the progressive fronts the Synergy springs have. They also looked the same as far as coil thickness goes. I have heard from people that Teraflex springs are pretty stiff. Even the guys at Rock Krawler said a lot of guys running TF springs on 2-door Jeeps replace them with just RK springs.

    Ok got home and after 3 times back to 4 Wheel Parts to have them fix things they didnt setup right. Today the JK got new wheels and tires put on the wheels are KMC Rockstars 17x9 and the tries are Good Year Duratrac 315/70R17 so when they was putting them on they found the driver side ball joins bad so $500 to fix that and I was out the door. Now let me see if I can get the pic's to post. Love the lift and the ride is a bit stiff but not to bad. We will be going down to Wheeler Geologic Area tomorrow and doing some camping and checking out the area should be back sunday just in time to fly back to the Gulf to go back to work Ya... Hope it will be good whether we are doing this trip to celabrate are 26th anniversary I dont know why she has put up with me that long....
