Lift and comfort help

[Jarret]

As a recent Rubicon owner I am looking to add some aggressiveness to my 2020 Wrangler. I am looking to swap out to 35s or 37s however this Rubi is my daily driver and flat tow vehicle. I have reviewed several builds and determined that ride comfort was best obtained with Fox shocks, I am looking at getting either the Fox Racing 2.5 or the 3.0 remote reservoir shocks. Does anyone have experience with these shocks and what lift kits worked well with them? Teraflex? Rubicon Express? Suggestions? Thank you for any and ALL suggestions/help!

3.0 will be way stiffer than 2.5

You can always get a relvalving company to revolve them to make it softer.

Took a ride today in my buddies 2020 Glad Moab that had 35s and Fox shocks right from the dealer. The shocks appear to be the Fox 2.5s and the ride felt good going down the road. I’ve never had shocks re-valved how does that impact off road ability?

What the heck is a 2020 Glad Moab...?

Some sort of side-by-side?

It is a very happy JL that gets to go to Moab on a frequent basis.

I think he means Gladiator Moab edition.


I would say the part of the reason the Gladiator rides better is the longer wheelbase compared to the JLs.

Glad -> Gladiator is a bit of a stretch. Is there even a Gladiator Moab Edition...?

Did he mean a Jeep Gladiator Mojave...?

This is like interpreting Egyptian hieroglyphics!

I suggest/recommend the Mopar lift for $1,100 on Amazon. It rides nice and will clear 35's. With very minor adjustments to rear liners and front steering stops I run 37's and no rubbing. Add adj. frt. LCA, a adj. Frt. Trackbar and a relocation bracket for the rear T.B. and you are good to go for less than $2G DIY. If you want a stock look with tires under the fenders AEV JL Pintlers have stock spec's but are an inch wider.
I am happy with my build but it's not a DD'r. I strongly believe 35's are the right size for a DD'r. Some photos in my showcase

Thanks for that info. My original plan was to get the Mopar lift in order to maintain the warranty if at all possible.
