Best of both worlds?
Hello people, from across the pond.... well the area where I live has LOTS and LOTS of corners.... and winding roads, and since there is no speed limits on the freeway here ,I reach 160 km or so during my daily commute... (100 mph?)
So I need a lift kit that will be great off road as it is on-road, that will reduce body roll, and enchance handling better than stock if that is possible at all...or am I just daydreaming? does a lift such as that exist?.. or sway bars?..
Thanks in advance... and I know this isnt a BMW M3, but I like driving through the twisties...

(my jk is stock except for power upgrades) I reach almost 190 km everyday on freeway(with some downhill-ness) and 160 on flats over here..., what about a 3" full-traction long arm lift with 35s? and right gearing, FT rear swaybar and bilstein 5100 shocks...will I have better than stock handling or what?(all the bells and whistles...)
some old video of my annoying friend filming while i gun it..(trying to nto be late to a movie..)

At 3.5", long arms aren't necessary.
In fact, you might want the tighter handling of a lower short arm lift like the AEV kit.
I did a test ride in a 4dr with a Hemi and the AEV suspension. It cornered very well. With just about any other kit that has a softer suspension, we would have been lifting tires on the corners.

you speed demons should ride motorcycles for your shits n' giggles speed fixes. jeeps aren't porche's and not made for high speed cornering or drag strips. be careful dudes. aerodynamics and stability are your foes at those speeds in a jeep!
