Once installed you need to twist it.

This change really did come out good.
The springs we took out had seen their day. The stock shocks work with the 1.5 springs, but are on the list of stuff to upgrade later. With this kind of build you really can take your time. You could drive this truck as it is forever. You dont NEED to change shocks or tires, or wheels, but later when you get the itch, or want to put a winch on, your springs can handle the weight.
Came out Great!
Here's the rear. No spring... then... spring
Here is a shot of the RK springs

Talked to the trucks owner, and the review was that the ride change was fantastic.
Now we have to wheel it.
Lets get this thing dirty and show us how it climbs. Does this suspension offer any off road benefit? Or is it just drivability and its weight holding capability?
I ask because you didn't change the control arms or shocks. So even with the harder springs, I don't think this truck as any more articulation.
Correct?
Longer shocks would allow for further droop. That will be the next step
Hey First time poster here!
I first want to say thank you so much for your work. I have been scouring the internet for this kind of review.
If you don't mind i have a few questions regarding the RK 1.5" coils. First, a little back story. I have a 2013 jku that I'm looking to put a small lift on. nothing more that 2" really (my GF has a hard enough time getting in it as it is)Anyways, I do not plan on ever really going bigger than just a small coil lift just enough to fit 33's in and i dont really plan on getting a heavy bumper. I plan on upsizing to 33s once my stock tires wear out at which time i plan on upgrading to a 4.5" back spaced rim.
I guess my main question is I have been looking at the Teraflex Performance leveling kit (coils). I am not in anyway interested in spacer lifts. But after seeing the RK 1.5" coils I'm really interested in the triple layer springs. The teraflex coil level kit is ~400$ it includes 4 springs and 2 extended sway bars. And i priced the RK coils and they are $149 per axle. so ~300$ than I can buy extended sway bars. How do they compare? Is it worth it? i know one is a level kit but they seem reasonable comparable.
You said you don't need to upgrade shocks or really anything else for just the 1.5" rk coils and Teraflex reps say you don't need to change shocks or anything else. But non the less I have Take-off 10A rubicon shocks i picked up with 149 miles on them so you did say the rubi shocks were better with the rk coils over sport shocks.
which would you recommend and if i go with the RK 1.5 coils would you suggest extended sway bars like the teraflex kit comes with or no?
Im sorry if i highjacked the thread. im a newb looking for some info. anything helps!
Thanks again!
