Default Bigger lift vs recovery points
Figured would be an interesting topic. What do you guys think on people doing a bigger lift first or getting recover points before the lift

Recovery points and armor should be first in my opinion. People should learn how to handle their rigs offroad before they lift it.

^ Agreed. Front and rear recovery points should be your first purchase if you plan to off road your Jeep. A big lift doesn't do you any good when you get stuck.

recovery points should be mandatory. Going out with out them is asking for trouble.

What good is more lift gonna do you when you get stuck with no way of getting out. Recovery points should be the first upgrade for anyone who wheels.

Wheeling with no recovery points is like sex without a rubber.

Unless..... You have a great amount of control. Which is a good thing. But still do the recovery points.

No one can control everything. If you wheel long enough, you will get stuck eventually.

Hence why you always have a rubber i.e. Recovery point.
