I have an 09 Rubicon with a six inch lift on 35s. My wife was home the day I bought it. She has Crohns so, she's not always up to going out.
To soften her up to the idea, I brought home an FJ Cruiser so she could sit in it. It was bone stock. She thought it was comfy, and warmed up to the idea of going back to an off-road SUV. Told her the price, which we both thought was rediculous (38k for '13!!!), and told her there was a Jeep at a dealer next door for a better price. She gave me her blessing, and off I went. Besides the price, I .... kept details to a minimum.
So not to sound like a bad husband, but I honestly didn't have any intention of getting the FJ Cruiser, and had my eye on the Jeep the entire time. Thing is, while she likes it, she has a terrible issue getting into the Jeep. I've even purchased different handles that go on the A-Pillar, but she's just too weak and short to be able to hoist herself up into the seat, even with the side step.
That's when she recommended going to a stock suspension setup.

So I came up with a compromise! I now just pick her up groom style and lift and set her up into the seat every time. I get to keep the Jeep as it is, and she feels like a princess every time we go somewhere.
