This isn't so much a downside, but something to be aware of... not sure about the Wranglers, but a lot of the Jeep 'wagons' have dual exhaust outlets and several small holes in various places (by design). In mine there's no way I can get the pressure to inflate a jack with the exhaust - an air compressor attachment is a must.

Tips for a sand driving noob
Thanks everyone for the tips. Been on the beach 2 of the 3 days we've been here so far and really enjoyed it. Haven't been in any sort of trouble but have learned a fair bit.
On north beach today the tide was in, so I was in the soft stuff a fair bit til I got to the end of the beach.
Exiting the beach was up a steep, very sandy track but I got up there first time by picking the right line and keeping on the loud pedal. From what I saw, I was the only person to get off the beach first time.
For those who love mud and big puddles, the back road that follows the beach must be and absolute wonderland when it has been raining. I reckon there would have been 15+ massive potential puddles that you'd need a snorkel to get through if it has been raining.
Had heaps of fun and am going to try and hit the beach at least once more before we go home

It works the same as it does for bush driving, it gives you more flex in dunes. It also allows you to fit bigger tyres which then lifts your diffs higher giving you more clearance.

it doesn't give you anymore flex, it just gives you more clearance
