midlife crisis toy
Ok here we go,
I have not had a Jeep since college (20 years ago) ouch! 1987 Wrangler. So now I am steping back into the Jeep world, new Jeep 07' Rubicon Unlimited loaded due in next week, which I will be customizing. It will be used 99% of the time on road but I will learn to rockcrawl with it as well as go off road with it on trails at local events. But the delema is I really do not know anything regarding the technical side of things. My most important question is regarding suspensions, price is not a factor but I do not want to waste $ either. So what is the best riding, safest (as I am a Dad) 3" to 4" lift available and should I consider an airride system? I will be running 35" MT's to start with and my go to 37"s. It will have everything AEV makes on the vehicle, including their beadlock rims. HID lights, Warn 9.5ti winch, PureJeep Rear Bumper for now as it is readily available , still looking for the right side protection. Also any info on gears and axles that would make it ride and perform better would be appreciated as I do not know anything about this stuff either.
Thanks to all for the help.

not sure of the tech side of things , but ive had those mid life crisis things ....corvettes, harleys, sport trucks...not sure if a jeep falls under mid life crisis yet only a great utility vehicle oh well maybe rock crawling, mud bogging beer chasing , top off cruisin the local mcdonalds stereo blasting would fall under " midlife crisis"
