The coilovers replace the shock and spring setup.
yes. the coil over takes the place of both!

Quick pic for reference. A visual helps me out. No more coil and separate shock with coilovers. The rear is a little different than the standard bolt on kit but same idea.

If you have a 4 door you can go through the tub no problem. With a 2 door u lose the back seat unless you also stretch it. Mine is stretched ~11". Link with more pics....don't wanna hijack.

Wow.. I didn't even imagine evo coilover works that way... How that box(?) can hold all the weight of rear? ..
If evo lever can avoid that lose of cargo
Space,I'd go that way...

That's what I would do. I Just can't see filling up the cargo space with a box for the coilovers. Maybe if it was a designated trail rig, but even then I carry enough tools and spare parts that I wouldn't want to lose the space.
Edit: but you don't need the evolever to run the bolt-on coilover kit.

It's not as bad as it looks. The box itself is 30" wide 11" tall. It's only 6" wide at the top and 10" wide at the bottom. The rear panel angles out to a wider base. Takes up the same space as a Coleman stove maybe. The benefits far outweigh the loss of space. The coilovers are mounted in a much better position and at a much better angle. The rear bolt ons are at a crazy angle rearward and very exposed. I'm also able to set the ride height much lower than the bolt on rear kit and still have plenty of up travel. Not to mention the clearance gained at the rear axle. With the rear seat out there's more room than a 4door with seats in. Regardless, as mtg said it is a trade off.
With that said, I would do the lever. I would not run the rear bolt on kit due to reasons above.
ya lever and DTD is a whole different deal. but i believe you can get both front and back coils over done for about $5500 or somewhere there in abouts

$3600 for the bolt on coilovers, front lower control arms and front driveshaft for both models of jk's and rear upper control arms and rear driveshaft on 2 drs. Plus you'll need 3.5" back spaced wheels and its recommended to address your steering geometry by doing something like the EVO draglink flip kit.
