    I feel that the comfort is good for what it is, but as far as same model years, it's less comfortable than other trucks or cars because of the solid axles. I feel lots more bumps and cracks in the road than other vehicles.

    Mine works great as a daily driver. I had a < 2012 JK, and have a 2016 now, and the power increase is really noticeable.

    Thanks Max, your JKU is another one that I really like..... perfect upgrades in my opinion. I think I'll be holding on to the RAM this year and will reconsider a move next year

    "no TT yet. I'm on an early TJ, so they had the decently flat skid plate. I had picked up a flat skid at one point, but sold it as I didn't have the funds to buy all new arms to go with it.

    currently, I'm on a 2" OME lift w/stock arms. the rear uppers are adjustable, but the rest are stock. SYE & rear drive shaft, stock skid. Nemesis highline fenders and armor all around to allow for the 35s to fit. I can go up to 37s with the fenders, but I'd need a new front axle first.

    the OME lift and low stance help keep the driving manners. the low weight of the aluminum armor and BFG KO2 tires keeps the gas mileage in the 16-19 range.

    plans for this year are all new adjustable arms and possibly a flat skid. but I think I'd rather have an anti-rock on the front than a flat belly since I've not run into big issues with my current skid yet.

    Its those highline fenders that do it! I'm on stock fenders (trimmed the front a little but need to clean it up) and 34" x 11.2" tires with 4" Rough Country coil lift (with their lower control arms). Stock steering components also, which I believe needs upgrading......ordered tie-rod & ends and the tie-rod to steering arm, hopefully this will fix the only issue I have, which is a slight wobbliness at 45-55mph. I'll be replacing these this weekend and hoping I'm happy with the driving after that!
