Well now since it is what it is sounds like an upgrade to me anyone recommend a 2 to 3 inch lift thats good for onroad use and occasional offroad use something comfortable and not noisy i had a friend that put a lift on his 92 cherokee and that was the most noisiest and hardest suspension i ever came by.

And yes it is serious mostly because the rust michigan isnt to friendly to cars down there and also moving to florida near the salt isnt making it better.

Dont worry too much about the salt here in florida. Unless youre going to be driving in the ocean, its effect is seriously overrated.

Ome and RE seem to be the recomended "nice ride" lifts.

The rear shocks are visible from the car behind you easily. But get under your jeep from the driver's side door and you SHOULD see shocks. If you don't you might want to get them installed.

If you don't have shocks on it you WILL know it. Because you will be bouncing all over the road if you don't have them.
