Alot of variables can contribute to a rougher ride after lifting. What RC springs/shocks are you running...have you confirmed with RC that they are meant to be paired? Have you talked with your installer or ridden in other lifted JL's with similiar setups by different companies to confirm you're ride quality is noticeably worse? I have read multiple examples where people spend meaningful $ changing shocks only to be upset bc they dont feel a meaningful improvement and later find out their coils are simply stiffer, have a loose trackbar or steering component(s), need more caster...etc. I would look into those areas first.
Thank you for the reply! I should have given more information. The RC kit I’m running is their full 2.5” suspension lift, so it’s the springs and shocks they pair and sell together (n3). The only installer in my area only sells RC, so not much comparison there. I live in small-town Texas where most people drive trucks, and I’m the only Jeeper in my circles. So unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to ride in other peoples rigs to compare (which sucks because doing that would probably answer my questions).
I have AT tires that are a bit rougher riding, so I completely get that. I am not by any means expecting this to drive like my scat I traded in... however I do know it could be improved. In reality, I could probably just add LCA's and a track bar to my current build and be happy. But at that point, it's not a whole lot more money to go ahead and upgrade to a better lift kit which includes those components. I also did not get a full 2.5" out of my RC kit, so that's another reason for wanting to change. I would like a little more gap between tires and fenders.
