If you want a vehicle without problems, buy a Honda. A jeep is not for you.

Again, you would like to read the modified FAQ, since a lot of questions are answered there.

If you want a low maintenance Jeep, then run a basic Budget Boost with a 33 inch tire. I do this and my Jeep has no problems at all with steering or what not.

i'd say the higher you go the more you need to invest. Its not a that its a problem but after 3-4 inchs you will just need to replace more stuff.

also, if you buy a lift make sure to check the bolts every oil change or find an offroad shop that will do it when you do your oil changes.

If you buy 4" springs and shocks and don't solve the other problems that come with a lift... then you will likely have problems. Do it right and maintain it and it will be fine imo
