Alright guys and gals, I know this is newb as hell, but I could really use some recommendations for this setup.
I’ve finally got my wife away from German sedans. We have a 21 JLURe on order. I drive a full-size truck for work, and until we go to a third car again (a lot of resistance since my unreliable hot rodded track BMW) I’m stuck with this being my “fun” car.
So what I need is a reliable Jeep, accessible by my 5’ nothing wife, that can take on Uwharrie but still be reasonable for her commmute that includes interstate on ramps (about 20 miles). Beyond that, I’ve got boss $$ approval required apparently, so RSE drop steps and 5k lifts aren’t options.
Initial thoughts:
1.5” TerrafLex spacer
Mopar LCAs
Mopar Bumps
Terraflex Shock Extensions
35x12.50R17 KO2s (should I run AM wheels or squeeze on the puny 7.5s?). White sidewalls are a priority.
Bumpers, apparently the winch should be visable as in on top of the bumper, am I good with Stubbys in this application?
I need a step to replace the rubi rails, but one that actually protects. No “holes” that could break a heel”. At a loss for this,
Is there some body protection I’m forgetting? She’ll want to be the primary off road driver with no experience.
TIA
