    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    Now would you guys recommend I go with a short or mid alarm? Or will a standard coil lift with track bars do the job just fine?

    Anyone running the Smittybilt SRC roof rack?

    Looking into roof racks and don't necessarily want to break the bank. I have a JKU so I have a decent amount of storage. Mainly could be using the roof rack for a RTT and carrying extra fuel and things like that. Does anybody have any experience with this rack on the Jeeps? Yay or nay?

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    I do not. Like I was saying the current kit seems very basic and overall poorly thought out and out together I would say the wobble and vibration starts in the 45 mph range and increases as the speed does. My main reason for wanting to change out the whole kit is because I have no idea what it...

    It drives horrible as it is with this particular set up on there already. At a bare minimum I need to replace that kit just to GET to the trails safely (south Florida isn't much of an area for overlanding lol) so I'm going to be driving to north Georgia for the most part at a minimum. A 50 min...

    Agreed. Good point with the topic of travel and ride quality! Also like I said I'm clearing my tires now with no issue on a crappy "2.5 lift" whereas I'm sure I would be much happier with the ride quality and the way it sat and performed with a quality 2.5 lift like the 2.5 max travel from Rock...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    I really do love the look of the 3.5 inch lift and yours looks awesome. Love that front bumper choice too. But I was also taking the drive shaft issue into consideration as well with going with a lift that size. I think to be honest that whatever the lift that came with mine now is just a...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    Well being in south Florida and the general south east I don't plan on doing too much extreme rock crawling. I definitely have been looking into doing the trans am trail in bits and pieces over the next few years and overall just doing some traveling in the mountains of Georgia, the Carolinas...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    I just feel with the extra weight of the 4 door along with the bumpers I want to put on a 3.5 with some HD springs up front might be the best option. Something like a Rock Krawler kit maybe?

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    That's the biggest issue I'm having because the dealership did not know, they couldn't get me in touch with the previous owner and my local shop checked it out when they were installing some new tires for me and said that there was no distinguishing markings on it. It could be anything from a...

    New to the game from South Florida

    Hey all. Coming out of the Broward County area of south Florida. New to the Overland world. Just kind of stumbled across it recently and honestly never knew anything like this existed. I've camped and spent my life outdoors for the most part and just never knew!! Quickly falling in love...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    When I bought the Jeep last year used it came with a very basic Coil spring lift on it already that the previous owner had installed. It's a 2.5 inch lift and I'm running 35's without any issue. It's obviously not the type of lift I want since I would be looking for at least a mid arm lift in...

    Best lift HEIGHT to go with on a jeep for Overland build?

    Hey all, a quick question for my fellow Jeepers out there. What size lift would you say is the best or most practical for an overland build. I am stuck between a 2.5 or a 3.5 and could really use some input. Thanks!!
