How does it handle on dirt roads and rocky terrain?

Looking to get a leveling or a small lift on my 22 v6 etorque and want to know how it is offroading

I have but it's probably apples/oranges. I've got a '17 Rebel 4WD with the air system and AT tires. I was in 4H for much of it (hilly dirt two tracks and sandy gravel). When the two track ran out, I moved to 4L, it handled it like a champ. You didn't mention whether you've got a 2 or 4WD. Trim level?

I've got 4wd, 3.21 gears, big horn level 2 night edition. Not too worried about the suspension more just curious about the power.

Does yours have etorque?

No, eTorque wasn't a thing before 2019. I do have a 3.92 rear so it's decent off the line, although in 4L it kind of doesn't matter. You've got plenty of power, most Wranglers are 6cyls, and they do fine off road. :cool:

It would depend on what you think off-roading is.
I go off-roading 2-3 times a week, every week. I have V8. But doesn't matter much. As it usually doesn't play much of factor.

Add the lift, and better tires. Doubt power is going be your issue.

Had a 4th Gen Pentastar with 3.21's and this 5th Gen with 3.55's. They both run gravel roads, field roads, mud etc, no problem. I have a feeling you're asking more like, heavy duty off roading and goat paths up and down the ridge. I wouldn't recommend it, just for her size. All the tires and lift kits in the world can't compensate for a wide girl! There's Jeep trails around here but I wouldn't take the Ram on them unless I wanted to lose a mirror and destroy the paint with limbs.

Before I lifted my rebel and put MTs on it I took it to richloam in Florida and didn’t get stuck. If you’ve never heard of it look it up it’s got some nasty holes
