I personally like BF Goodrich KO2's, Good smooth and quite ride. For an off-road tire that is.

What about the ride is it she doesn't like? Is it rough? Does it sway? Does it crash over potholes and shudder?

You need to put some gear nut lotion in your diffy box and get those ratios synchronized. That's prolly what's upset the misses.
yeah... i'm thinking i should have it into the shop as a last ditch effort, My tire Guy is also an awesome mechanic - he owned jeeps... i'll let him know about the diff ratios. thnx!

With 3" of lift, a rear track bar relocation will help. 37s are what I run, what load range and what PSI?

I found the shudder over bumps on mine was loose steering box bolts (added the metalcloak steering box and trackbar brace) and my ball joints were smoked at 28k miles.

What suspension are you running? Geometry correction? A nice D or C rated all terrain tire will ride better for daily use.

not sure what to say here. My wife and kids HATED the exhaust. I had to put the stock back on. For me the exhaust drowned out the background noise. I'll admit it was worse than i expected. The drone at cruising speed was awful.

i'll take a look here's the window sticker. I beleive there is Just One fox shock. ( I've seen two on some jeeps - would that help?

Tell her it would ride much better with a 6.4 Hemi under the hood.

Looks like some kind of lift but that won't be on the window sticker
