You asked for thoughts? I think that much weight is foolish with stock suspension. You'll need to factor in the cost of coil spacers or new coils to add to the bumper.

That's one reason I was leaning towards the Aries, if I went with the Fab Four what kind of coils would be good, also looking for new track bars

You said you've got stock suspension and sine you didn't mention anything otherwise, I'd assume you'd like to keep it stock? If I were in your spot then I would consider either coil spacers ($50 max) or a low level lift coil. Synergy, rock krawler, etc will make a 1.5" coil, a 2" may work since you do have the 4dr.

Why are you looking for new track bars? Again- you said you've got stock suspension- so what do you hope to accomplish with new track bars?

I've had a lol wobble in the tires, so I was going to start with bushings and a track bar, suspension I'm still looking at what I'm going to do. I don't want it to high because it is my daily. I'm ruining 17's with 28's on them. Still new to all of this I went from a 09 Bmw 750 to the jeep because I'm in the mountains but my passion is deff taking from stock and make it something original. I've got the AEM brute force intake on, smitty built nerf bars, and the rugged ridge grill inserts and tail guards.
