Hey, first time posting here. Had my JT for about a year. It’s a sport manual tranny with the teraflex 1.5 level kit and the mopar lift control arms with 285/70/17 tires. I’m looking to upgrade the ride. It’s fine on road, but I live a mile up a rough dirt road and frequently drive other poorly maintained dirt roads, especially since winter now presents multiple “mud seasons”. These conditions are super rough and annoying. I don’t off-road recreationally, but often run class IV roads and other fire/farm roads for back country snowboarding and mountain biking trail work etc. The rest of my driving is 35-50 mph rural roads, and occasionally short interstate sections. I’m considering the below options to improve the ride on rutted out dirt roads and off-road performance. Budget is $1500 right now.

-Currie antirock and bilstein 5100’s on stock sport coils
Or
-delete the level kit and add lift springs, better shocks, sway bar discos and an adjustable track bar.

FYI, the Flyer/Flyer Pursue weight limit of the rack is like 150 lbs. I highly, highly, highly recommend getting the tent off of it unless you've reinforced it somehow.

It’s about 150 lbs moving but more stationary. That said it’s a poor design and I did through bolt the rack connections as the inserts are the weak spot for lateral forces.

Sounds to me some Falcon adjustable will get you close.
