We picked up my wife’s old ‘98 TJ last week. I’m new to Jeeps but she used to drive it when she was in high school. My father-in-law told me it had a 3” lift. I assumed it was a suspension lift but now that we’ve got it, I see that it is a body lift. I had been planning to replace the shocks with a set of Rancho RS5000x but now I’m not sure if that makes sense. There is a limited budget for fun projects with the Jeep as the kids have to eat first... Would upgraded shocks still make sense to improve the ride at stock suspension height with the body lift?
The Jeep is in pretty good shape with 95k miles and no mechanical issues of note.
