Yes you are on the same thought process as me.

These soft springs really compliment the falcons better than stock or slew of other stiff springs out there though.

Gone are the reverberations passed into the frame. While still kept the controlled body roll and handling.
The improvement in ride quality is highly apparent!

I don’t mind tinkering myself, that’s why I’m changing out one component at a time, then test and collect data and repeat to fine tune everything.
Better then the factory springs? Also have you tried some higher speed off-road on rutted/washboarded fire roads? Would be curious if suspension kept up.

Yes, I had Rubicon springs. The Synergy-10 series springs are softer than factory. (I also have a light rig)

I am still in the process of testing, but so far the ride has been much better.
Washboard roads have been great.
My goal was to find a perfect medium between on and off road performance while maintaining maximum comfort.

For what I do, softer spring and stiffer shock will always be a better combo.

Picked my Jeep up from the dealership. Updated the UConnect software to the May release, and fixed the excessive play in the steering wheel with the updated track bar. Very much improved!

I want to do the exact same front bumper, how do you like it?? How was the install? I also plan on doing that rear with the mid width, but really do not want to lose my backup sensors, did you get the sensor kit?
Love the front bumper. Simple yet rugged looking. Love the stinger, but kind of wish it was a little taller/longer. Good that the winch is on top, and not recessed for easy cleaning. I did get the sensor kit, but like others mine doesn't work with the 37in tires I have. Install was very easy for the front, tougher for the back due to all the parts. Greasing the bearings were annoying, really wished they prepacked the bearings.

The kit and Tazer was $2,500 and the install will be $800–1,000.
bout like a quality lift I guess. Definitely worth it, if it fixes you up. Best of luck, and I look forward to your review........:)

Now, officially broke for the next decade!
But you’ll look great too on the way to the poor house.

And unfortunately it looks like I’ll be right behind you!

I’m trying not to think of the things I could get with the money! So many options, but the steering on my Jeep is *horrible* and must be fixed.

I’ll definitely post my impressions from the kit.

Just fitted on my long waited 35x11r18 Duratracs on stock Sahara wheels (285/75/18). Super light too at only 60lbs.

Slowly my build is getting there.
Living in a metropolitan you have to learn to deal with the quirks that come with it.
Such as parkade head rooms, and city driving and parking.
I was going for a build that could in theory aim at the best of both worlds — Daily driver during the week and capable off-roader on the weekend.

These 35s are true to size and measure 35.1” un-mounted. No rubbing — these are absolutely the biggest tires you can fit on a stock Sahara wheel without spacers. Also light enough to not cause too much sluggishness on acceleration.

With a lift of exactly 2” over a stock Rubi. I’m literally just a hair under the overhead clearance bar of my parkade. And about a finger’s width under the garage beam pulling into my parent’s house. So in terms of vertical space, I’m calling it good.

Awesome! My wife wants to keep the stock wheels on her Jeep too. I'll be putting Geolander G003's 275/70/R18 on hers when the time comes.

so the 37 inch tire is blocking the sensors?
