New friends... or maybe that's just their excuse. Jk. Adjustable shocks, lower tire pressure X2. My wife complained, so I put in heated seats, now she loves it.

thanks for the input. changing my shocks and controle arms will have no effect on anything else on the neep right? drive shafts, brake lines ?

just want to make sure that by spending money i dont inadvertently force my self to spend even more money

It comes down to how you feel driving it. Does it feel stable? Does the jeep wander? The control arms will help you if that's a concern. The shocks will help you tailor your ride to your friend's expectations, as well as your own.

I had assumed you were just keeping the lift you have and making your rig more "friend friendly". If you are changing other things, I'll need to go back and re-read the thread here.

What size lift do you have?

Shocks and control arms will not effect brake lines or drive shafts. Springs will!

2.5 coil lift

I have a 2011 Rubi Unlimited, with a 2.5 lift, and my JK rides great. I have no issues with long trips in it.

You don't need control arms then. Just get shocks and it will improve along with 28-30 psi. I recommend the Old man emu nitros personally. That's all you need , nothing else with 2.5

X2...I run the OME long travels with the KM2's and the ride is really very good.

I forgot to mention that the rancho adjustables have a $25/shock promo this weekend ($100 on a set of 4).

I was unable to find any reference to OME making a long-travel shock. All their shocks appear to just be a can nitrogen shock? Do they offer something different?
