Default Best Stock Height Suspension?
Hey Crew,

I drove my wife's 2013 JKU tonight and was shocked at how rough the ride has gotten. The Jeep has bout 88k miles so I'm guessing its just time for some new shocks.

What stock heigh suspension upgrades do you guys suggest we look at?

Mahalo for the help,
Chris

New bushings everywhere and new factory Rubicon shocks will make the Jeep like new again. I mean bushings in track bars (4), lower control arms (16), engine mounts (2) and transmission mounts (1). You won't believe the difference. I did that once to a Subaru Outback and it was a dream to drive after that. You think how many times that rubber gets hammered every day. They soften up.

You haven't changed tires recently have you? At 88k are you still on the original factory shocks? If so, it's likely time to freshen them up.

Thanks. That’s a great idea. Wouldn’t have thought about it.
