Shocks etc.

So I’m new to the off-roading thing. This is my first Jeep 2019 jlu sting gray sport. I have the 2.5 Rc spacer lift so far for budget purposes. 18 wheels. 35 tires. What would help the ride and off-road capabilities without a full lift system. For now.

Shocks, springs, both. Other things?
Would shocks help soften the ride a little bit? Seems more stiff with the spacer lift. I appreciate any help or suggestions ahead of time

looking for rugged ridge fender they had a seam. Either tube or the more factory look higher rise fenders. Or rubicon replacement fender for more space.

The spacer kit typically rides very similar to stock.
Did you put the 35's on at the same time? Which tires did you end up going with?

Also ... what psi do you have the 35s at?

I got them in at the same time and I have them at 30 psi. Ridgegrapplers

what Would fox shocks do for me at this point?

The 35x12.50r18 Ridge Grapplers are an F load rated tire. That's going to be what's hurting you ride....
Adding fox shocks will only firm up the ride a bit as the stock sports shocks are already fairly soft.

The spacer keeps your stock suspension so that would not be the issue. You have purchased F rated tires which are meant for super duty trucks that haul. This is the cause of your issue. I'd suggest lowering PSI to 26. May help a bit but other than that there really is no option to fix the firm ride.

Ok. So next time around I need to get a different rated tire. So. Besides the ride. What would be some worthwhile upgrades for suspension at this point. We Do a trip or two to the mountains every year. Now plan to be able to do some trails I’ve always wants to.
