I went from a 04 two door to the 07 unlimited, and the ride difference is night and day. Both are soft tops. I'm not sure if there is much of the difference between the regular 2 door and the 2 door unlimited.

I believe he's asking only about the JK's, which doesn't offer a 2 door unlimited, all JK unlimited's are 4 doors.

As for your question PunkLuke, if I understand you correctly, you want to know the differences between the 2 door and 4 door (unlimited) as far as driving style or ride comfort?

Driving style should be about the same for both, the unlimited (4 door) will be slighty more difficult to manuever, just because of the added length.

As for the comfort of the ride, they should be about the same, with the unlimited probably having a slightly better ride due to the extra weight.

In addition...

the Unlimited is 20 inches longer...so a bigger vehicle. Parking and U-Turns are a bit tougher, but the added lenght in the frame gives the Unlimited a better ride on everyday roads.

But...the longer wheelbase also makes it a little less easy to manuever if you are off road.

The UPS and downs of differing lengths I guess...

In my opinion, the difference is sucks vs doesn't suck. Ride, noise, stability, you name it.

I've driven both, and that's how I feel about it - but I know this statement will get be flamed anyway. (:

This is silly and unhelpful. Regardless, I'll have to assume that you think the ride is better in the longer wheelbase Unlimited. That would be conventional wisdom, anyway.

Well I see that you have a Jk but I didnt know if you were refering to the 2-door Jk as being the one thats sucks compared to the unlimited or vice versa or if you were refering to the Tj. If to the Tj I will defend it and say it doesnt suck but I will say that my 2door Jk rides 100x better than my Tj did and from what little off-roading I have done in my Jk it has been superior to my Tj as well.
