[QUOTE="Chris, post: 423912, member: 1"] Aside from good shocks, two major contributing factors for ride quality are the tire load rating and tire psi. Many people are running around with E load rated tires on their Jeep Wranglers, which are a light truck tire, and definitely not meant for a vehicle the weight of a Jeep Wrangler. The proper tire load rating for a Wrangler is going to be a C load rating, and I wouldn't go any higher than a D. I went from E load rated tires, to D, and then to C. The difference in ride quality is absolutely astounding, seriously. The much thicker sidewalls on the E rated tires definitely make for a much harsher ride. In addition, most people run 35 psi or higher in their tires, which is generally way too much. 26-28 psi is what I recommend. Going from 35 to 26 psi is also an astounding difference in ride quality. I've been running 26 psi in my Wrangler's tires for years. [/QUOTE]
