  Bought a Wrangler with a lift kit and now I'm wondering what I actually signed up for (6 views)

I just pulled the trigger on a 2018 Wrangler Sahara that some guy had been using for weekend desert runs and honestly the test drive was a blast with the roof off and that 3.6 Pentastar humming along but now I'm sitting in my apartment staring at the receipt and all I can think about is whether that aftermarket suspension was installed by someone who knew what they were doing or just some random shop in Ras Al Khor that bolted it on and called it a day. The seller was super chill and pointed out all the cool stuff like the Fox shocks and the beadlock capable wheels but when I asked about the dreaded Jeep death wobble he kinda laughed and said it only happens if you don't maintain the steering stabilizer which felt like a bit of a brush off if I'm being honest. My plan was to take this thing out to Al Qudra and Fossil Rock with my buddies but the last thing I need is for the transfer case to start grinding or for the check engine light to pop on because of some weird exhaust manifold leak that these 3.6s are famous for when they get cooked in Dubai traffic. I've been watching a ton of YouTube videos about common TJ and JL issues and it's making me realize I barely looked under the thing for rust or cracked control arm bushings. Found some Jeep Vehicle Inspection Experts Dubai through a quick search last night that actually put the truck on a lift and go through all the steering components and differential fluids, and I'm seriously thinking about having them take a peek even though I already own it now because maybe that's better than waiting for something to snap on the E311 on the way back from a trip. Anyone else done something similar where you bought the dream off roader first and then scrambled to figure out if it was actually a hidden nightmare?
