Question. I have a 2006 Wrangler Sport with a Skyjacker 2 or 2 1/2 lift on 32 inch tires. Stock rims. Put on in 2007. ProComp front stabilizer. 82k on the odometer. My shocks and stabilizer are shot and leaking. Due to my pickup dying the Jeep will now become my daily driver (daughter is in college). I need a new suspension and want to upgrade from 2007 items. Needs to be budget friendly but not cheap either. Has to be functional and look period correct. I’m not looking for a custom monster Jeep I use it for Deer hunting and what I’ve had has worked well. Now I have to upgrade and make it look sweet and also a daily driver. I only drive 3 miles to work so the off road ability is more important. Thank you for suggestions.

Throw on a Savvy 1.25" body lift and some new shocks and call it a day.

Cheap, effective, and all you need.

If you have been happy with it's performance , I would probably just go with new shocks and a steering stabilizer . Skyjacker Black Max shocks and any economical steering stabilizer and you'll be set .
I am running Old Man Emu front springs along with a one inch spacer and stock springs with a two inch spacer on the rear . Sits pretty level . I might try some Old Man Emu 2942 rear springs in the future , but it's performing well as it is . Our shocks are Skyjacker Black Max and the steering stabilizer is Monroe .
 
Change up the shocks, I think Ranch 5000x or black max get a general thumbs up. I am 2” on 33’s x10.5 no body lift- you go any higher on the suspension than other things need to be changed to $upport that is where the body lift helps if you need the room or want the taller look.

You're probably due for control arm bushings.
Easier to replace the complete arms and they don't cost that much.
Monroe is good enough for the stabilizer.
