I have some E rated duratracs and they aren't too bad. My 2 year old falls right asleep in the car seat with my 2.5" inch budget lift and 35s.

Trust me, I get it. If your only going to have one family vehicle with two babies in two rear facing seats, you’ll need to make compromises until they get a little older.Honestly, as bad as this sounds - I'm just not excited to drive a Grand Cherokee or Durango. I've been getting pricing on the Grand Cherokee SRT - and I still think my JLUR is cooler. Issue too is how insanely expensive they are for what you're getting.
I think the Rubicon has a tiny bit more cargo space and GC has a couple inches shoulder space in the back but that’s it.If you get a Grand Cherokee/Durango for the space, then you compromise having a cool vehicle for a few years.
I agree that the GC is small for what it is, which is why I recommended he look at the Durango.I think the Rubicon has a tiny bit more cargo space and GC has a couple inches shoulder space in the back but that’s it.
Exactly. Our girls went through a phase when they would puke every drive longer than 45 minutes in our loaded touring Honda Odyssey. That thing was about as smooth a ride as was ever made. Didn't matter. It's likely less about the 35 inches, more about the 18 months...Don’t do it. We thought that too but then it happened in our van. Littles go through a car sick phase and grow out of it. My oldest is out my youngest should be soon as it happens with a lot less frequency now.
Good luck!
Need some advice. My wife and I live in NYC where we can only keep 1 car. That 1 car has been a 2019 JLU Rubicon. Black on black, every option available except the painted top. I'm running 35 inch KM3s on AEV wheels, Teraflex tire carrier. Some small things here and there.
Long story short, when we do drive it's longer distances. Only have 3K miles on the odometer. Problem is the ride is so rough, my 18 month old almost always throws up in the car - meanwhile our second baby is due in 2 months.
Is it the KM3s that the ride is so rough? I'm in final stages of a potential Grand Cherokee swap - just so not excited to be driving a Grand Cherokee like everyone else. Looked at an SRT but lease on it still ended up being over $1K. Can't justify that much for a Jeep.
Hate to get rid of the Rubi, wondering if I fork over more for KO2s if ride will improve or if should just get into a Grand Cherokee.
