Welcome and congrats on your Jeep! Your in the right place you will get great advise from these guys,.....
First off how often do you drive it and where(what kinda terrain) if its your DD (daily driver) becareful how you set it up, it will efffect the ride and handling of the jeep, what kind of engine, transmission, gears do you have now. All will determine the best set up for you and the terrain.
Is this your first jeep?

No, i had a 99 TJ with a 2.5 L. Sold it to go to law school. New TJ is a 2000 4.0 L automatic. No idea on the gears, the damn radiator or waterpump was leaking and Im waiting to fix it. Wont be a Daily driver, but something I want to be able to drive on the road. Tires are pretty much bald so i want to lift before i get new tires, probably a winter project. My daily driver is a Liberty.
