Hello all!

Having enjoyed TJ's for years, after renting a JK for a weekend I was hooked. I enjoy the "topless" aspect, but I have really been taken with the quality of the ride.

Now I am looking for advice......I want to customize my JK, but I don't want to sacrifice ride quality, and really enjoy how quiet my current stock tires are. Reading through information here, and other places online it appears that some lifts and larger tires will stiffen the ride, and make it less user friendly. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I like a soft ride as well, and good high-speed handling as well as trail handling. High reliability and low maintenance are high on my priorities too. You can look at my profile to see the way mine is set up, but ride quality is very subjective. Anyway, consider a minimalistic approach - Load range C tires in the 32" range (keep your existing tires?) and a smallish lift in the 3/4" to 2" range.
