Haven't posted in quite some time, but I am looking for some guidance from greater and more experienced minds than myself. This is the first rig I will ever do anything to as I prepare to begin my more difficult trails I have taken mine on. I have saved up and budgeted for the parts, but just want to know what everyone's thoughts are. See below and let me know what you all think. I will be offroading tougher trails 10-15 times a year. I want to protect as best as possible understanding that bumps and scratches are points of pride. My biggest question, if I am going to be spending 90% of my time in this as a daily driver, is the Mopar lift suitable or what suggestions would you make?

The MOPAR lift will be more than enough for 35s and will save you almost $2000 over what you have there, even factoring in an adjustable track bar. Those Falcon shocks look great but I don't know that you will get a practical benefit over the Fox units in the MOPAR kit. If you need that extra 1/2" later you can easily add a spacer on top.

With all that money saved you can pick up additional guarding for diffs and control arm mounts and a winch bumper.

Mopar lift is fine , I would however get better shocks the ones In the mopar lift won't hold up over time.

I believe the current inventory of Mopar Lifts come with Bilstein shocks. A better shock than Fox in my opinion.
