I think KTM would say something along the lines of well-working and cheapest are two completely separate things. lol

@thenewkid the best thing you can do for your jeep is just research this website for a couple months

Honestly. The only part of my ride I could compare to a dump truck at all would be speed bumps..and not that I have actual leaf spring clips that hold the springs centered they're not even that bad.


Plus I mean its a huge goddamn lifted truck, if you go over speed bumps/ around turns fast...your parents are probably related.. I hate seeing kids at school who've lifted theirs..well paid some lift theirs...and go speeding around every where and never get em dirty..but thats a rant for somewhere else. haha

Not to mention it really comes down to how long you want to wait, spend and what you want to do with it, explore, mud, fish, just for looks. I personally went with athree inch because Its my dd but I planned on (and have) done some light wheeling. so 3" worked out perfect.

6 months ago I planned on a 2" lift and 30's
then I decided I wanted 31's so that bumped me up to 3.5"
ehh forget that I might as well just get 33's
so I'll need 4.5" ....and a SYE now
but then I'll want to regear... well I might as well get a locker while I'm doing that
now I have 33's, 4.5" lift, and a geared ford 8.8 all waiting to be installed.
I'll want long arms next.

that's how I came to decide on my setup. it changes FAST if you research this forum enough.
