So all of us have our own budgets to work with, and I am sure we are all on here, and start reading about control arms, bushings, shocks, bump stops, joints, etc, etc, etc. and with each post get excited about something and end up wanting it all, but then realizing the budget just doesn't support the dream.
I wanted to take a poll, of preferably people with some experience, is it better to spend money on expensive shocks or expensive lift kit. I use expensive to avoid opinions of which lifts/shocks are the best, so for sake of imagination assume whatever expensive kit you or shock you like best.. And lets assume that extreme off-roading is out, 90% of jeep are used 99% on road, and pushed to various levels off-road. So lets say the average expected use of the kit is 6-8 trail trips a year, doing half intermediate trails and half hard trails.
if they thought a simple lift say springs, lower control arms, bump stops, and say track bar relocation brackets with really top end shocks was a better use of dollars, verse say a full kit with front and back track bars, full set of control arms, dual rate springs, and the latest joint/bushing/coating technology but with entry level shocks. Where is the better use of budget?
