Default Thoughts on these mods?

These are a couple purchases I’m looking at making. I want to get rid of the front air dam and this skid plate seems like the ticket. Pretty spendy for one piece though. Also, it is worth going with coilovers instead of spacers to level?

I had a 2019 RTR and loved that skid plate. Heavy duty for sure. Why not go with spacers and put some wear on the stock parts first since you already paid for them. You can always get coilovers later. I had Fox coilovers on my 2019 and it did drive great though. If you off road get the coilovers straight away. Good luck.

good info, and good point. I would rather just wear the factory parts but I didn’t want a rough ride, any clinking noises, or just anything the could be avoided by doing it correctly the first time. I don’t off-road much. Just dirt and gravel.

My 2021 is lifted from the dealer with 6" spacers and it drives perfectly smooth like stock. A nice set of coilovers do look good but wont necessarily ride better. I was going to change mine out too but it rides so good, I decided to wait until I wear out the stock ones for a while.

that’s just what I needed to know! So get spacers, and put the money saved towards new tires!

I have the Eibachs, and I love them. Smooth factory like ride, just enough extra stiffness to take out the love boat ride. Nice level to boot.

Eibach Coilovers are another vote. No more floaty Buick lasaber feeling.
