I need to preface this post with...I love the ride of my stock 2021 JLURD with 35" tires. My plan was to have an 1.5 to 2" lift installed on my Jeep. I wanted just enough lift to comfortable accommodate 35" tires on and off road. I have added a Ace front bumper with a Warn 9.5cti winch and an Ace rear bumper. The guys at Rock Krawler recommended adding spacers to achieve a small lift and to level the Jeep. The issue I have with this is the lost spring travel and the suspension going through the travel faster because of the added weight. I had a Dynatrac on my 2020 3.6 JLUR. I loved the lift, except when I loaded bikes and gear into the Jeep. When it was loaded, the rear suspension bottomed out a lot. So, needless to say, I've ruled out Dynatrac.
This lead me to think that it might be better to have a Rock Krawler 2.5" lift installed and go up to 37" tires. While cost is always a consideration, I want to get this right the first time and not have to redo everything.
Additionally, the guy at Rock Krawler said I should get diesel specific shocks. He said that shocks for the front of a 3.6L is not adequate for a diesel.
I'd really like to hear this groups thoughts about the pros and cons of both alternatives. If you've had any experience with either of these alternatives, have photos, or have done some research on this issue, I would appreciate any input.
