The right lift, tires, shocks, steering components can make a huge difference in the ride quality of a Jeep.

The lift is one place where it is not recommended to go cheap.
The last thing you want to hear is "you put all this stuff on my Jeep and now the ride quality is terrible."

IMHO, if you are going to lift the JL, go with a quality American made lift from RK or similar.
Then use other good American made stuff from Steer Smarts, Next Venture labs, etc.

And I’m not usually one to go cheap especially on upgrades.

Haha we’ll see. I will probably do it for her because I love her and honestly she’s not very materialistic. I’m definitely more materialistic than her.

That’s what I need to figure out with her. I’ll jokes aside I need to determine if she can wait for a 2023 refresh and maybe get something else that she likes or upgrade this current one. It’s not even a year old.
I hear ya.

Kailani 1.0 is about 18 months in our care and has thirty-five thousand awesome miles.

That’s beautiful. I plan to put lots of miles between both of our rigs. We already went up the coast to Oregon and back on spring break. That was a beautiful trip. And we also did lots of local camping here in SoCal.

Haha sounds very similar to mine. She used to be part of this book club thing. But pretty much all fiction which I can’t stand reading.

2" Mopar Lift and 35's good, I was debating on my steps when with my Sahara but honestly since it doesnt see dirt much its actually a good way to prevent door dings on my end, they can just hit my step thats fine jokes on them especially if it is a steel step.

2.5” lift, 35’s on 17’s. Drive it like this for years. I miss it so much I’m buying a new one. I never should have sold it.

Give her just a bit of beef without going full send.

Rubicon suspension takeoffs and set of wheels with more offset and a bit wider tires is all it takes.

Still on stock Sahara suspension with 34"tire. She likes it.
