I have an 03' manual TJ and I've had her for about a year now, and have become more comfortable with working on it, but now I'm starting to look into a newer lift kit and shocks. The ride is rough, I've rid in numerous jeeps, my friends dad has one, and my uncles have had several so I understand, generally how jeeps ride pretty rough, but man is mine bad. So I have done some research on potentially how to soften the ride, but before I drop serious money I could use some advice or website help.
I have an old pair of Pro Comp shocks, which I have seen are essentially no better than stock. So I think they need to be upgrading and have looked into the doetsch tech dt3000, or maybe some rancho or OME's. (Any recommendation would be appreciated). But another issue I'm having is determining what my lift kit is. I have seen how short arms are cheap but lack in ride quality because of the straight up angle, and how long arm lifts might improve my ride. But again, the issue is I cant find out how to identify what my lift is __" and whether it is short arm or long arm. I would hate to buy a new long arm lift only to realize I already had one and the ride quality is the exact same.
Can I get any help???
