I just recently acquired my 7th Wrangler (1997 TJ, 1997 TJ, 2000 TJ, 2007 JK, 2007 JK Unlimited, and 2014 JK Unlimited). All but the very first Wrangler have run on TeraFlex suspension lifts. The most recent Jeep was a 2014 Rubicon Unlimited riding a full blown TeraFlex suspension lift with upper and lower control arms, Fox reservoir shocks, running 38” Toyo MT’s, etc. My kids have gotten old enough to drive and they want to start driving Jeeps. My 2014 was too much for 15-16 year old drivers (regardless of how sorted the suspension is, driving 38’s is requires extra focus and attention). In any case, I swapped my 2014 for a 2020 Rubicon Unlimited. I didn’t want to go crazy on a build, but I do want to change the stance. I already put Cooper STT 315’s on the factory 17’ wheels. The next step is a basic spacer lift. I have always done TeraFlex, so my plan is to do their spacer lift (2” front and 1.5” rear). I already purchased the Mopar LCA to accomplish the correct factory alignment.
So, after all that, my questions are: what should I do regarding shocks? In the near term, this will be a Mall Crawler. After the kids are gone, I will redo the build. Can I run the factory Ruby shocks? Should I even consider running those shocks? Should I run a different shock? I am targeting road comfort and ease of use. I want it to drive as close to factory as possible. Thanks a ton for your assistance.
