So it has come down to this, I need new shocks on my wrangler, there is no avoiding it, the car leans a little bit, the rear right isn't so hot any more and the ride is as bad as all you know what. Seeing as how I have to get this stuff replaced any way I was thinking of ******* over the extra $200 bucks for a 2" lift kit. I am wondering, since we have so many other jeep owners here if any of you think this might be a good decision.
My main concern is how the lift kit affects the ride, does it make it better or worse, I don't go off roading much, 2 years ago I took the thing down a snowmobile trail, and rode it up my friends lawn last summer, but not much really to speak of. I drive on the highway about 600 miles for thanksgiving Christmas and easter, other than that no highway, but a good amount of around town driving.
The other concern I have is that it is recommended that once you lift the thing you need bigger tires, I don't have the money for that right now, so how will it affect the ride if I just keep the stock tires I have now, is changing them out necessary?
If anyone has experience doing this, let me know.
