i have a 2022 willy’s with a 3.5 inch Tera
flex lift kit and Fox struts and even with 37 inch tires i feel like im not sitting as high as other rigs i see on the freeway. not sure if it’s just my fox struts are just giving up or if there is any adjustment i can do to get my ride standing
tall. my set up is around 2 years old and nothing but highway miles so any thoughts.

Sounds like its time to go with a 4.5" long arm kit.

I was suffering from CSD. I'm recovering now. I put in 4.5" springs in the rear.

If you have struts on a Wrangler - you did it wrong.
Seems like few people know or care what a strut is. The word sounds clicky and gets a lot of misuse.

This is one of the top reasons to get a 2 door, my 2.5" Rock Krawler lift netted me 3.5-3.75" .... everything looks bigger in a 2 door.

Did you do the smart thing and take before and after measurements?

Post a pic like this and you’ll probably get a better response on actual lift height. I think I stole this pic from @Roky

Saggy Springs. Give that ride the blue pill by swapping them out with something more substantial.
