Default Help..New JKU Rubi upgrades

New to JK. Have had CJs in the past. 2014 JKU Rubi that I plan to do PSpyder bumpers. Also, what's the best way to level the JKU. I'm ok with costs, I just want this done the best possible way and wanna maintain factory rims/tires and hopefully the ride quality. 80- 90% on road daily driver use.

I agree that if you want to maintain the stock ride height with stock tires just put in the spacer disc over the springs to get rid of the rake in the front. Nothing wrong with keeping your Jeep stock, you will continue to enjoy the best possible gas milage and handling and still be good for moderate off road driving. Most people spend a lot of money for lift and tires just for the look and never get off road, just a waste of money.

You may want to look at the 2" Daystar spacer lift. It retains factory ride but will give you a bit of cusion when you add bumpers. The factory coils do tend to sag under the extra weight so having that little bit of extra height all the way around will help you out. They are inexpensive and simple to install.

THX for info. Will wt of bumpers sag the stock springs over time? What about wobble issues I've read about on posts?

Shouldn't have any death wobble but yes they will sag the springs.
