[QUOTE="Duster, post: 463627, member: 20812"] A Rubicon, as factory built, is engineered to handle anything but [I]extraordinarily[/I] tough rock crawling without needing any serious modifications. A stock Rubicon JK/U can be taken over the Rubicon Trail, given a driver that knows the vehicle, and a decent spotter. So, unless you are looking at some trails tougher than the Rubicon, you probably could better spend your money on recovery gear (winch, snatch blocks, ropes, etc.) than on a lift kit. Lifts look good, and they definitely have their place, but if you aren't looking at really hardcore rock crawling, then the chief off road hazard will be situations where you need to pull yourself or someone else out of poor parking choice. For on the road, depending on your priorities, you might want to look at a less aggressive tire than BFG KO2s that were stock. [/QUOTE]
