hands down a yj with same lift and tire size will outperform a jk any day, and thats just going off the 3-4" ground clearnace advantage at the same lift. Also much less underneath to get caught up on. They are also ten times easier to upgrade as well as much less expensive.

Default Jk vs yj

I guess I'm going to find out. Had the yj since 97 (its a 94) Great off road but beats me up too much getting to the trailhead.

It doesn't matter a whole lot. As long as your jeeping and having fun. But post back and let us know what you think
