Hey, guys, just purchased a 2015 JKU and I am looking for advice.
Short background. I have had Wranglers and Cherokee’s over the years. Actually did some writing for an online Off Road publication many years back. I am pretty mechanical. Do most work myself, but I am gettin older and slowing down a bit.
On this new to me JKU I want an easy lift that retains the ride, with some improvements from fresh shocks and probably improved sway control (it wallows a bit right now). I am thinking about a spring spacer job, shocks and maybe some sway control. I called 4WP and got sticker shock of $1600-2000, but that would be turn key. However, if memory serves lifting the JK is not a major undertaking.
What advice on reasonable, but quality, parts and doing this myself (with maybe my grown son or son-in-law helping)?
Thanks again. I am giving up my motorcycles to get into Jeeping. I am also an avid mountain biker which fits in well.
Thought’s?
