So I'm seriously considering buying a 2010 Rescue Green Unlimited Rubicon and selling my 06 TJ Unlimited. My LJ has 4.5" lift with 35"s and the road manners seem to be going down hill. Granted, I need to have an alignment done and get some new tires which is I'm sure why it has been driving like crap. The steering wheel has a wobble in it but i don't want to go drop a couple grand on tires on the TJ when i might be getting a JK right around the corner.

Last night we were over at the wife's brother's house for a cookout and I resisted having more than 1 or 2 cold ones because I would be so uncomfortable if she had to drive the LJ on the highway. It made me question how much better the ride on the JK would be. Good enough where I wouldn't worry about the wife driving it?

So here's my build plan. Will this drive much better than the LJ?

2010 Rubicon Unlimited
Teraflex 4" long arm
37" MT/R Kevlar



And let me say....road manners is not all i care about. If that were the case i would just leave it stock but street driving obviously is going to happen.

So the question is......How much better does your modified JK ride compared to a modified LJ?

 

MY JK compared to my TJ is like a Caddy campared to an 80's F-150. Both are modded relitivily the same too. These JK's ride really nice and smoth even when modded

2007 JK Unlimited 6 Speed 4.10 Gears
3 Inch BDS Lift
1 inch TERA-FLEX spacers up front to correct for a Basically Deficient Suspension
35x12.5x16 Yokohama Geolander AT/S
16x8 Cragar Soft 8 Black Steel Wheels
Custom front Winch Bumper from RoundStar OffRoad
Mopar Offroad Rear Bumper
Oilpan/Tranny skid Plate by Skid Row
JKS Quicker Disconnects
Skyjacker Brake line extenders
Skyjacker Adj Rear track bar
High Clearance Adj Front Lower Control Arms by RocKrawler
RocKrawler Front Lower Control Arm Mounting Bracket/Skid Plates
Warrior Products Rear Safari Doors
Midland 1001z CB
Tera-Flex CB antenna tailgate mounting bracket
Alloy USA Dana 30 Axle Seals
Plenty of ROCKRASH

 

The JK is far more refined than our beloved TJs. Bigger dimensions, more weight, etc. Just a better baseline vehicle overall.

Good luck on your choice!

 

Having owned both LJ with 4" RE long arm and a JK 4 dr with Teraflex 2.5 Coil I am more comfortable driving the JK on or off road.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. Now i just need to find a Rescue Green Rubicon unlimited.
