So over the past little while I have installed EVO's long arm upgrade kit and their front and rear coilovers. I went to Moab this past weekend to test things out (VERY impressed!) but I am not happy with how I set up my rear coilovers. I didn't have much weight in the back of my jeep and have adjusted them to be level. The problem I am having is I am already on bump stop. What coils if any have others gone to so the rear sits level at least with the front with a few supplies in the back? Tops are 200, bottoms are 250. Needing input from others! Thanks in advance.
Help with new coilover height.

You far more room than I have off the rear bumps. Your timing rings need to be about 1/2" from the blue slider for one. It will do no good where it's at. You are not even using the secondary's.
I tried to email you back. But please give Andrew a call at EVO MFG. He can help with these minor adjustments. They make a world of difference

Thanks Chris! I will give Andrew a call. I am still questioning pressures too. Not sure if I put in the PM to you and Eddie but when I received them in their box, there was a paper that said "not charged". I spoke to Andrew then and he told me how to test them. I Called David at NR on Friday and he recommended that I go see Steve at 4X4 outpost. Steve gave them a quick shot of Nitrogen but didn't even look at a gauge. Who knows how much they really have in them.
Before I left town to go to Moab, I had a local shop do some adjustments and that is how they ended up like they are now. Sounds like I need to start back at "stock" and have Andrew give me some pointers on where to go from there.
I had the coilover kit installed a week ago at ORE. Yesterday I double checked them all and found it to be about 140psi in each. The right way to test them, as far as I know, is with a appropriate shock gauge like this.

When you fill you may want to go a few psi over as you loose a little when removing the gauge.
