Looking at swapping my RE coils to Skyjacker dual rate coils. Anyone had experience with the Skyjackers?

Wondering why you want to swap? Is something wrong with the RE coils?

Skyjackers are 2" longer. RE coils are very soft

What shocks are installed?
I have RE 3.5" coils and have no complaints. I have run them locally, and in Moab, for many years. When I first installed them I also installed some Rancho shocks. Rookie mistake. The Rancho shocks seemed to be one size fits all useless, and were horrible. Off road it was banging the bumpstops on every bump. I switched to DoetschTech DT3000 and the ride on and off pavement, and suspension control improved an actual 150%.
I added 1.75" coil spacers and bought longer DT3000's. I have no experience with SkyJacker products, but I also do not know any experienced Jeepers or well set up 4x4's that use them.

I have not used the Skyjacker but I do run the MetalCloak dual-rate coils and they ride very well.
I do have two sets of Metal Cloaks. 3.5 and 4.5. Both are slated for my two XJs. I did look at Rock Jocks. I think they have a 3 rated coils. The 4.5 MCs came up cheap locally. I hear Skyjackers are maybe mid tier. ??? Always heard good about MC stuff. They used to have an XJ kit. Very premium. Like $1600 when RE was about $800.
