Dave Hutchison Details on lift.
Tamera Daniels 3" on 33's
Dave Hutchison What kind of lift? Control arms? Shocks? Trak bars? Sway bar links?
Tamera Daniels Oh haha I'm sry lol i got mommy brain its lift blocks an spacers and it has rough country shocks
Dave Hutchison lift blocks where?
Tamera Daniels On top of the springs
Dave Hutchison ok so all you have is 3in spacers ontop of stock springs? there are no blocks haha, do you have anything else done like control arms, trak bars or brackets? or is all that stock?
Tamera Daniels Yes an yes thats it with ruff country shocks i bought it with it dun already
Dave Hutchison ooooooomg, no disrespect but that thing is a death trap. I am really sorry to beat it down but running 33s on stock control arms and trak bar with 3 in spacers it will only be a matter of time before you get death wobble and with 33s if you have never experienced it before then it will rip the wheel out of your hands. i would highly HIGHLY recommend pull those spacers out and pull the 33s off and put stock tires on. I am really not trying to be mean or anything this is merely a safety disclaimer. i have had jeeps go into a death wobble while i was towing a car and i have learnt the hard way. please be careful
Tamera Daniels We have this kinda lift on our other trucks an have never had a problem only time we have a issue is when we change the control arms an trak bar then it death wobbles, I use this Jeep daily an take up to 80mph and have never had a problem not even on the dodge cummin, thank u for ur concern tho
Dave Hutchison ok well ive owned 7 zjs. and other trucks are not the same setup that jeeps have. but hey if you want to take the chance with then i hope nothing bad ever happens. i would say if you add a trak bar and control arms then they arent set properly then. but your choice. good luck and i hope nothing bad happens to you or the new owner
Tamera Daniels Im sure if the new owner didnt want that kinda lift they could easily change it i dont have the money and if it aint broke i dont fix it
Kevin Wiley Dave Dave Hutchison you obviously dont know a damn about the jeeps you own. When you change the control arms you alter the alignment and that causes front end issues. The safest lift for any vehicle is just adding blocks or spacers. <<< her BF
Dave Hutchison ........ LMFAO! go search JeepForum.com or CherokeeForum.com and take a read buddy. if you would like to continue this conversation then please PM me but i will not have this unintellectual conversation on an open forum
Kevin Wiley Those forums are peoples opinions. Go talk to a mechanic.
Please can someone chime in... am I going insane and know absolutely nothing about jeeps? if that is the case I am giving away my zjs..... I thought it was funny.... if spacers are the best way to go then why doesnt JKS or IRO or anyone else sell 8in spacers???
