Jeep looks awesome congrats on it! So for a better ride it sounds like i should also ditch the skyjacker hydros for some better shocks...

shocks will play a big part in the ride, but the spring rates also affect it.

Like i say though im on a budget and really want the extra height and i can deal with the skyjackers for now, so it looks like i have a lot of searchin to do for the right springs.

I would go one step at a time. it is how I have to do it. in stages. I would get the springs and a rear track arm, then front track arm, then lower front control arms, then sway discos, then shocks. if it was me.

Jeep looks much better than it did stock for sure.

Just my opinion but if you could swap your 3" tera springs for a set of 2" tera springs you would get the 3" you were looking for originally. Local club member took out his bb on his unlimited and gained 2 more inches with the 3' tera's.

thanks guys. I really was not happy about all the extra height at first, but I really like it now. With the castor corected and track arms and firm springs, it rives fantasic. If you drove it you would swear it was stock height if you did not know. the ride is sporty and firm, but nothing close to harsh. I am liking it.
