This new Jeep has taken the place of the Libby :(

Not yet :shock:

Rides like a good old Jeep. Bumpy as hell and all over..miss my power locks/windows..buyers remorse Im sure..

The KJ rode better as a DD for sure. The JK is bigger, taller, more trunk room, and has more back seat room.

Haven't had it off road yet. For the REAL test !

The one I drove I thought was way bumpier than the KJ but thought it may have been the cheap lift they threw on

It's definitely gotta be cheap lift syndrome for you, Tom.

Mine rides like a redneck porsche, especially with the new AEV lift vs the stock coils and spacers I had for 6 months.

Maybe it feels that way because I went from the KJ to the TJ to a JK. The JK is night and day from the TJ as far as ride quality. I think the wheelbase helps that a lot!

X2, The OME's are way better than stock, and from what I understand the AEV's Nth degree lifts are the best out there for on and offroad. Eventually when I upgrade I plan on picking the AEV kit up.

I've had mine installed since sunday, and I have to say the on road ride is unmatched to any JK I have ridden in so far. I'll let you know how it does offroad after August 1.

Been reading some great reviews on the ride and handeling of the AEV Nths kift on Expedition Portal If I go that direction it will be at the top of my list for sure!
