Default Question about lift?

I want to lift my jk unlimited. Mostly a daily driver, some moderate offroading. I am looking for the best ride I can get. I wanna run 35's with a 3 inch lift. Which lift will give me the best ride quality?

Wow, that's a really tough question especially since so few people have had a chance to test out what little is available. And, ultimately, ride quality and comfort is completely subjective. I'm sure this will be a much easier question to answer in about a year but just to get the ball rolling, let us know if you prefer a soft ride or a firm ride? Does off road performance take a higher priority or will your Jeep need to be a good daily driver?

I prefer the daily driver ride quality. I like that softer ride.

Since I do not have my JK yet................it will be hard to answer your question. However I put a 3.5 inch Rubicon Express Kit on my 04 Unlimited and I got a better ride with the lift than with stock. Just my 2 cents worth. Papabear

From what people are saying, the Full Traction and Rubicon Express lifts provide the best ride on and off road.

Piginajeep, Do you and your wife have duelling computers going on at home there? I am assuming Tjen97 is your significant other. That's cool, my wife just walks in and I feel so guilty, I minimize my screen and get back to work until she walks back out of the room. LOL She is on to me though!
