I am the original owner of a 2018 Sahara JLU, on Mickey Thompson Baja
Boss A/T 33.x12.50r17 on 17x9,-12 wheels. I have noticed a significant change in the ride quality, I suspect my shocks are spent. Note that I am currently in Louisiana, where the roads are as bad as the worst in the nation. Paved roads are washboards, filled with random potholes, exposed manhole covers, railroad track crossings, and some low areas covered in sand and rock from washouts. I use my Jeep to get me from point A to B and depend on it to handle the short cuts I create as well as the curbs I have to climb to get my self out of traffic. Truth is a my Jeep was originally purchased as a support vehicle, that could rescue my clients, when their island roads are impassable in their tiny cars.
I only require a minimal lift and ride quality is a preference. I have discovered the Clayton 1.5" Overland+ lift kit https://www.claytonoffroad.com/product/jeep-wrangler-15-overland-lift-kit-2018-jl-jl-4xe.
An offroad shop recommended the Teraflex St2 and the Falcon SP2 shocks, plus rear lower control arms. The Fox series 2 shocks are also an option for either lift kit.
Are either of these going to achieve my goal of a smoother ride on the crap Louisiana roads?
