I'm sure this question has been asked a multitude of times, but once again a fellow new Jeeper needs help deciding.
I'm in between getting a new Rubicon with the xtreme recon package on it or a Sahara then paying for a lift. I'm trying to spend my money wisely and I'm about to place an order for a new Jeep tomorrow hopefully.
My initial decision was to build a new Rubicon with the xtreme recon package so it would come already lifted, but getting ready to go to the dealer and place my order I began having second thoughts. I don't truly think I'll actually use the extra benefits of the Rubicon (sway bar disconnect, lockers, etc) since I don't plan on doing any heavy off-roading with it, but I do want the lift offered in the xtreme recon package which isn't an option on the sahara models.
After looking at the price difference a little more I am unsure if I should just go with the Sahara instead and try to save some money. I want the jeep lifted, and I absolutely do not want to lose the warranty that the Jeep comes with. Now I'm at the point of trying to figure out roughly how much it would cost to lift the Sahara through Mopar so I don't lose the warranty and comparing the cost to buying a Rubicon instead.
I also want to lift the jeep properly so I don't skimp out and have any problems with it. If anyone can help me with some info regarding what would be needed to do a proper lift (through the Jeep dealership) and roughly how much would it cost that would be great. I know going with aftermarket parts is often preferred, but I am not willing to lose the warranty at all, so that leaves me with the Jeep dealer as my only option.
If I go with a lift I would like to put on 35s at the least, but if I can then I would rather put on 37s. I know I would need a lift from Mopar, wheels and tires, but I'm also still new to this and have been reading about needing new axles, re-gearing, spacers, etc. and I'm not too familiar with all those things and their costs.
Thats about it. If anyone can help provide some clarity and info that would be great - every bit of info helps. Thanks in advance to everyone who replies.
