I agree with Greg. The Alpine arms are a terrific product, both long or short arm. The long arms will definitely improve the ride quality, though it is a rather involved modification (nothing you aren't capable of).

Talk to Joe Thompson, he's on here every now & again and posted the photo above with the TeraFlex account. I don't know if he will be there tomorrow, but he'll set you up for your needs.
I've built mine up to be capable, yet very driveable... 35's with a 3" TeraFlex suspension and their shocks. We drove it out to the Rubicon and back from Colorado this Summer and it does everything I want.
IMO the best all around option (if you're not scared of spending the $$$ and doing the work) would be a 3-4" lift with the TeraFlex Alpine Long Arms. It'll ride great on road and off and has rubber bushings in both ends, so it's maintenance-free for life. TeraFlex also has a upgrade for the front CV driveshaft that increases the operating angle, I just installed one last weekend and it's a super-simple, easy to do and you can keep the stock front driveshaft.
I'm thinking this is the same lift that Jake was telling me about that her installed on his wife JK.

Yeah, that's it. The long arms require cutting off the factory frame-end control arm mounts which is a lot of work but the end result should be worth all the effort. TeraFlex has YouTube videos that guide you thru the process. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD4sK__OFI4&list=PLJfxlMyFnnBSzzyYiLM4bcZFRBwHIfQrW
I'm still running short arms, but plan to change that this Winter.

There's not a thread on here but there are almost infinite options.
I think this is one of the threads I took my ideas from.

are you running 15's? For the wife, and more streetable, I'm thinking a minimum of 17's.
Your more than welcome to stop by and go for a test drive in one of our JK's. Right now I'm running a 3" short arm kit with Duratrac 315's in my 2015. Joe
I had 35" BFG KO2's on for SEMA.

You want 16's or 17's. Those are the only 2 choices I would consider.

Did you swing by TeraFlex and talk to Joe? He'd set you straight.
