I want to buy a Jeep that is lifted, but I also want to use this as a road vehicle. Is there a way to 'loosen up' the lifted suspension to give is a smoother ride?|||they make eco lifts that use the stock springs. its just a spacer you could try that i think that go up to 4" with them including the rear shackles, depending what kind of jeep it is. idk if this would smooth it out but u are using stock softer spring|||Alfonzo. You can get better shocks and air down the tire pressure and you will get a little bit softer ride. Otherwise it's like what Alfonzo said a lot of lift kits use stiffer parts to get a better "product look" and unless you want to spend good money on a top off roading lift kit then it will be a firm ride.
Budget boost like 2" spacers and shackle/blocks with good riding shocks and lower tire pressure can have a better ride quality.
I'm running 5" lift kit with very good flex, nitrocharged shocks which are about 100$ a piece and tires on 30 PSI and still getting a decent ride but still a little rough.
(This is all I can really say to be blunt... Solid axles will always ride rougher then independent suspension)|||Get some Old Man Emu shocks. I've run probably 5 different makes of shocks and these are by far the smoothest riding. You could also get some of the adjustable Rancho shocks and set them to the number you like.
FYI - a body lift is just spacers between the body and frame, it has NOTHING to do with the springs.|||The ONLY thing you can do to soften up the ride is to get softer springs.
Since lift kits use firm springs to create the lift on the body - you're SOL
