[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 458090, member: 19161"] Because sand dunes don't really require much flex and travel on the suspension, I'm not sure you need anything beyond and inch or 2 tops. This is fairly cost friendly. I'd be more concerned with gearing and tires than anything. [URL]https://www.nathanson.org/davesays/2019/buildsheet-for-jeeps-vin/[/URL] Put your VIN in the above site and get a copy of your JK's build sheet. You'll need gears to climb those dunes more than you'll need a lift. While you don't want to get too ridiculous with the rear end for climbing dunes, you also need gears that will let you drive her on a daily basis, right? I'd probably recommend a 4.56 or 4.88 gear. Next, a decent all-terrain tire, if you want to use stock wheels. Take your pick. Here's something you may want to seriously consider as well- onboard air. A decent onboard air system that'll allow you to air down on the dunes and put it back to get on the road home. You'll also be pretty popular on the dunes with a good air system. I know the state parks in the NC Outer Banks require you air down to a maximum of 20psi, which is also not a good number for the highways. [/QUOTE]
