Default Suspension Question - Stock 13 Sport

I have just purchased a set of rubicon wheels and tires for my sport. This is my daily driver, a little offloading on easy trails, and some at the deer lease, I don't want to lift the jeep but what would you recommend if I wanted to beef up the factory suspension a little or for my easy offloading is the stock suspension adequate?

Thanks

You can do more than you think with a stock JK. I ran a bunch of blues at rausch creek (including when it was snow covered) with my 2012 Sport and the stock SRA's. Airing down to 18 psi or so and disconnecting the front sway bar will help you significantly! Not really anything you need to do to the suspension. You could get some stock rubicon shocks if you find a good deal, but don't expect a huge difference.

Pick up a set of 18/59 Rubi Springs and shocks. You can get them pretty cheap used and they made quite a difference on my 12 sport. I gained 2 inches in the front and 1.5 in the back. I was running 14/55's. I also picked up a set of rubi wheels and tires and I like it quite a bit.

I am on somewhat stock suspension. I'm running the teraflex leveling kit, monroe monotubes with 18/39 springs. I run all kinds of trails around here and it works great. I went to a 285 tire with wheel spacers. I will be going with new wheels next year however.
