cdals[OP] initial post: ↑

Yes I know there are a thousand of these threads so sorry in advance.

I have a 2020 manual off-road that’s bone stock. I’ll be putting a new set of tires on shortly and going to go with some 265/75r16s this time around so about an inch bigger than stock. Will likely go with new wheels with a zero offset too in the future.

It’s my daily driver and I’m a weekender so a lot of highway driving to forest roads. The stock suspension has held up well but I’m tired of the spongey stock feel and want something stiffer all around. I have a GFC camper on the back and will be putting some sort of drawer system in the back so I’m thinking an add a leaf for the added weight.

What should I look at for new shocks? Not looking to get a ton of lift out of it, maybe 1.5 to 2” and want to maintain mpg as much as possible. Will I need new UCAs or extended brake lines? Anything else I’m missing?

I’ve looked into the OME kits and have heard good things about the Bilstein shocks. Don’t want to break the bank.

What’s your budget?

<$2k - looks
<$5k - looks and trade offs
^10k - significant performance and flexibility
