Default Jeep Wrangler, 8 months old, 33k miles lots of driving & pics.

My solo trip around the country in my Jeep Wrangler - bought new July 2015 with 250 miles on it. Has about 33k miles now. too much driving..

Lifted it 4" within a week or so... Drove from PA zig zagging to Mount Rushmore, Denver, Moab, Grand Canyon, Vegas, LA Then San Fran eventually then back through Ouray, Durango, St. Louis, PGH...Then to Nashville and KY

How does it ride on a road trip? My friend has the short two-door version and said he dreads taking it out of town because it is so twitchy at speed. I am guessing the 4-door is much smoother.

I GPS'S it at 116.4 MPH (speedo only goes to 100, plus my tires through the speedo off anyway) in Nevada, so it seems to ride decent. lol

the 4 doors may be smoother.? i put a Pro-Comp lift with upgraded shocks on it so it would ride smoother than a shit Rough Country lift, etc....
