Evo plush ride coils with bilstein 5160 shocks?

I want to change out my stiff AEV coils with EVO plush rides for time being. I am doing long arm upgrade end of May hopefully and coil overs a year/year and half from now.
Those shocks came in with Aev lift kit, so they are tuned for Aev coils I assume.

Did anybody run a setup like this? Would anybody know how is this setup going to ride?

Why not wait until you do the long arm upgrade before swapping out the AEV coils? Especially if you're running the 4 1/2" set up.

That's kind of what I am shooting for. I also wouldn't mind doing it before long arm, just to have something to do on the weekend.
I just wonder how will those coils work with Aev bilsteins 5160. I talked to Off-road evolution and they said it should be ok. I actually get 5" plus of lift with my current setup.

5 1/2" plus? Are you running a body lift as well?

No joke, and I have heavy Aev bumpers and steel poison spyder brawler rockers.
Those Aev coils are stiff!

I know "ride" is really a personal thing but I absolutely loved the way mine handled with the AEV suspension. It truly handled much better than stock. So many variables though. My JKUR weighed 5,640 lbs. with all AEV armor and bumpers / tire carrier with 37s. Stock control arms.

How do you like your EVO suspension?
