I have a mile long drive way to some property I own. I drive it up and back a few times per week in my Pioneer and before that my Ranger. Last night we had some friends over and I rode to the top in my friend's newish jeep. Oh my gosh the ride was punishing and slow compared to our buggies. Im not sure what kind of tire pressure we was running but the bumps and ruts came sharp and violent. I had no idea that this would be the case. Pretty glad I got a UTV.

Probably max tire pressure. And stock suspension. I keep hearing the newer ones ride better. But iv never rode in one that is as smooth as my cj7.

Our son builds these with the various Hemis from just a standard 5.9 to the 6.4 Demon and I agree the mall crawler idiots have no idea what a good suspension is.
40s, one tons and lots of travel with air bumps definitely smooths out the bad holes and rocks.
