i am thinking about putting a lift on my jeep.I already have new all terain tires but when they get worn i want to get a lift.I have heard that jeeps can only have up to 30-32 inch tires.But i think its different if you have a lift???When i make sharp turns now once in a while i will hear a small grind as if my tires are to big and scraping.so the other thing i would be woried about to is does it really make it worse for flipping? i mean i only want about a 4" lift and maybe some 33s.

Replying to: jeeper96 (Jan 23, 2006 7:16 am) Check the inside of the tires, and fenderwell, for signs of rubbbing to see if they are in fact rubbing. Generally, the lower the vehicle, the more stability you have. If you install a 4" lift, then your center of gravity raises 4", and your stability decreases moderately. DEpending on your gear ratio, and im guessing it's 3:7:3, you may have to change your gears out to a 4:1:0 ratio for 33" tires. The 3:7:3 ratio will accept up to 32" tires without putting to much pressure on the drivetrain to turn all that extra rubber around.  The 4" lift is a good idea  . Just be sure to get a good lift kit that will have everything you need, such as longer brake lines, poly bushing, new castle nuts/cotter pins where needed.ect.ect. ; I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

| I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Limited. The problem I am having is whenever the roads are wet or snow covered the all-wheel drives slips out. It seems like it shifts to rear wheel drive. The computer on the center console shows the tires blinking green. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |

| My 05 JGC does not start if it has set for longer than a day without it being driven. I have had it in for repair 4 different times for the same problem and it still happens. I have contacted Diamler Chrysler about my JGC being a lemon and they have yet to respond. What could be causing this since nobody at the dealership has figured it out yet? | |

I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7 (WK) with 4,100 miles on it. Overall, been very happy with the car and problem free... Except... When the Jeep shifts from 2nd to 3rd, there is a noticeable "thump" or jerking motion... Almost as if it is holding on to 2nd a little too long... The thump is particularly noticeable 20% of the time, 70% of the time its modest, and 10% it shifts perfectly. Other shift points are smooth (making the hard shift from 2nd to 3rd even more noticeable). My brother's 7 year old Isuzu Trooper (with 100k miles) shifts smoother... Anybody have a similar problem and perhaps solution? Dealer says its "normal"...  Thanks. |
