Since you are looking at OME springs I'd suggest considering the ZJ/LJ spring combination. It gave me 2.5 inches of lift on my LJ with bumpers, winch, and hardtop.
Set your RS9000xl shocks to the least stiff #1 setting. That's where mine are and even that's a bit stiff for a TJ. Run 26-28 psi street pressure. 26 with 1-2 people and lightly loaded, 28 psi when the TJ is fully loaded. 12 psi when you're offroad. All that should make a nice improvement.I have the 6cyl Auto. Tires are 33x12.50x15 Shock setting was at 3 (middle of the settings) I was going pretty slow in 4lo. If I should be running at 12-15lbs tire pressure while wheeling, I was too high. I was more like 22-25 lbs.
You’ll be positively surprised what difference it makes aired down!I have the 6cyl Auto. Tires are 33x12.50x15 Shock setting was at 3 (middle of the settings) I was going pretty slow in 4lo. If I should be running at 12-15lbs tire pressure while wheeling, I was too high. I was more like 22-25 lbs.
Agreed that low psi is better when off road. I've found though that without beadlocks and with my tire/wheel combo (35MTRs/10"rims) I start to lose beads when I get into single digits which is a pain. Single digits doesn't work well for every every tire/wheel combo - just sayin...I find it comical when we ask people what they are airing down to and their answer is usually 15psi or more. I've done the same too. Going below 10 psi isnt going to hurt a thing, and you will quickly learn to appreciate the benefits of going into single digit psi's

Which is why so many of us recommend only 8" wheels for tires like 33x12.50 and 35x12.50. 10" wide wheels make it much easier to lose the seal at the bead when aired down enough for tougher trails.Agreed that low psi is better when off road.

My Superchips didn't help TJ performance at all. They taste great though.Do you have an engine tuner? I don’t know a lot but my TJ has a superchips that was set to “fuel economy”. After my first wheeling experience I set it back to stock and it had taken the throttle sensitivity wayyyy down.
Lol mine was there when I got it. I like it to take the work out of fuel economy etc, but really I don’t use it at all. Showing the codes is nice too, just a great windshield ornament I reckon!My Superchips didn't help TJ performance at all. They taste great though.View attachment 203458
