Default Just bought a WK, what now?

I finally got the wife into a jeep. All it cost me was $14,000... Argh. Oh well it's pretty sweet. I've had my xj for awhile now and know everything about it, not so much about the WK. What kind of suspension does this thing have? It already had an aftermarket muffler, what else can be done to get some more hp out of it. Oh yeah it has the 3.7 v6 and all wheel drive. Thanks.

but in all reality an engine is a giant air pump. your getting it out fine but air coming in is still at the normal levels. open up the intake, something like a cold air one.

holy cow $149 for two inches, thats awesome. Im defenitly going to get a cold air intake and now the RC lift. Is K&N the best bet for a cold air or does anyone else make a good one?

I am in the same boat as the OP. I will be lifting my wife's WK when I get back from Iraq. 3.5" and some 32's. She may even let me take it offroad.
