This is my first Jeep and my first Diesel. I actually purchased it for practical reasons. I am moving to a home I have been restoring that is located atop a mountain in North Carolina. Most roads are gravel and some are pretty steep so they do not hold up well in bad weather. I wanted something that would handle the worst the mountain could toss at us. So I purchased a pretty well loaded Rubicon Diesel and am extremely happy with it. I wanted to drive it for a while before I planned how to move forward. Fortunately for my savings account I have not yet been bitten by the serious off road bug. (I am sure this will change once I retire and have more time on my hands)
So my plan is to leave her relatively stock since it is well equipped. I am passing on any sort of lift at this moment because I am not a fan of side steps and it is a bit of a challenge getting my short legs into the jeep as is. What I thought I would invest in is replacing some of the stock suspension components that my jeep brothers and sisters feel need to be beefed up again maintaining the stock stance but eliminating any possible failures in the future. This may not be necessary and this is why I am reaching out to those with experience I do not have. Of course I will be dressing her in some new wheels and tires as well as many of the cool little convenience items I see people recommending.
I appreciate any advice, I did some searching but could not find anything on this specific topic, but my searching skills are pure beginners level.
