1st time jeep owner noob suspension inquiry

[RanchoShocks]

We have been doing this for over 60 years, started with Jeeps actually.
We constantly test our systems, be it in Moab where we work with one of the largest rental companies out there. All their Jeeps are on 35" or 37" tires. We are at Jeep Jamborees every other week ( I am headed out to one for JT testing)
Our springs (progressive) are tuned to the corners like Jeep designed it.
Same goes for shocks too.
I am not aware of any one else who is corner specific. We went the extra mile for ride both off and on-road.
Compare our parts to others and ask yourself, "WHY is there more $?"
Designed and Made here in the USA.
Limited Lifetime Warranty on our systems and shocks*.

Thank you all for all the excellent direction supplied so far. really is helping me out. I come from the Go Fast part of the auto world. and I dare say it's less complicated to select go fast parts than suspension. it's so much more intricate than I had anticipated.

Yeah I was shocked as well when I moved from fast cars to my first JK. I didn't except the aftermarket suspension market to be so huge on the Jeeps, but I'm happy it is. It really gives you a chance to tune in the Jeep for your exact needs/driving style. I've gone through five or six different setups on our personal JL's, and over 20 on previous JK's.

Here are the 3.5" Rancho springs on my wife's Sport.

I've always liked your JL springs, and the 9000 shocks on the JK. I'm still waiting on a chance to test the 9000's on a JL.

Sorry to derail, but did you mention JT testing?? Any taller kits coming out for that platform?

 

[RanchoShocks]

Looking awesome!
For the JT we are just starting to play around with it.
Different heights, different spring options, a lot of "fun" prototype stuff at this time honestly.
Not sure on the final tires size, I am sure 37's and I would ASSume bigger with small modifications.

I already have bigger than 37's on my gladiator . It's amazing what will fit on the rear of the gladiator by only trimming the factory rails and "chopping" the factory flares. Unlike the JL I want more belly clearance on the Gladiator due to the long wheelbase and bed overhang.
Excited to see what you guys come up with!

great info, i'll look at some more info on the mopar kits. some other options local shops have offered are the Rancho, Rubicon Express and JKS. anyone have any unbiased opinions on those 3 ?

I'd go with the rancho as it's the choice I made. If you choose the 9000 shocks you can adjust the comfort as you want and honestly on our sahara it runs better than stock. I did add a yeti track bar and rancho control arm brackets as well.

Thanks Matt. You are correct though. Most manufacturers did not choose to do corner specific coils or simply repurposed existing coil springs for the JL platform.

 

[RanchoShocks]

Yep a lot of repurposing it seems LOL
