Any reason not to?

You are over thinking it a bit. Since you daily drive it and don’t do anything hardcore, the more popular kits will be fine with a lower control arm added.

As you get into the more technically complicated and specialized off road kits, you will find that they are spectacular on the trail and less so daily driven. Those parts that work so well on the trail may not be the best for tens of thousands of road miles.

Do you have any experience driving a Jeep with a high-end lift installed?

I have the MC 3.5” gamechanger with rocksprt shocks. I’ve had it on my JLUR since September. I run my 37” tires at 30-32psi and it rides fine to me on the streets. I’m headed out tomorrow for a 1000mile round trip Memphis to ft worth trip. So we will see if I still feel the same next Monday. Lol.

Not for many years. I guess these newer ones are better sorted with no noisy joints or constant maintenance.

These days I just fix what breaks with better parts.

If you find the on road ride not what you expected, MC came out with front and rear control arm drop brackets…..for your intended use the 2-1/2” loss in ground clearance won’t matter…….

Thanks!
Yeah if it isn't how I expect it to be or think it should be, Im not going to blow up the internet telling people how bad it is. I'll talk with MC and figure out whats going on. I do understand its a solid axle vehicle and it is what it is. If its as good as OEM I'll be happy. I haven't been able to find any bad reviews, so I'm confident.

I will say, MC has sent me a couple emails with the transaction details, which I expect from a decent company.

But what I didnt expect, is they actually called me. I didnt answer, but he left a voicemail. Told me thanks and all that jazz, told me when they expect to ship the stuff from their facility, etc. I told my wife, Ive bought a good amount of stuff from the internet for my toys, this is the first time someone actually called my phone and confirmed details, thanked me, and told me when to expect shipping.

I gotta say, Im feeling pretty good about the purchase so far.
