I know that a lot of factors will affect this... such as lift, roof racks, weight distribution, how fast you are moving over high points, etc... But...

What is the furthest tilt / off camber you can effectively go safely? 30, 35, 40 degrees?

How far over have you been?

I am going to get a tube bubble type meter and was wondering if there is a limit that cherokees just should not go past or even get close to.

 

I've seen XJ's on 33's and 4.5" of lift tilted over almost 75* with out looking like they were going over.. alot depends on the driver, setup, traction... There are alot of things that come into play..

 

Holy Buckets Batman! 75 degrees??? Do you mean 45? At 90, it would be tipped over on its side.

I am sure the are a ton of variables... but was trying get an idea of how far it was "safe" to go. I have ridden on trail that was off camber approaching 30 degrees and it felt pretty far over.

 

I have been to about 40 degrees and felt like it was still stable. I would think 50-60 degrees would be a little far with my rig. Each rig is different depending upon load and how top heavy the roof rack makes it.

 

This was way past 45*. Alot can also be based on your suspension unspringing.. In my ZJ I've got to about 45* before it felt unsafe. I'd say 45* is probably the max on average.


Like I said on the 75* that's a extreme, not the norm....

 

I'v been to 180* but wouldnt advise it.

 

Yeah, that smashes all the stuff on top of the XJ!!

 

I've had mine tipped over pretty far. Don't know what the measurement was, but my a$$ was telling me that's far enough!! I now have a small cone pinched in the center of the driver's seat!!

Not much farther than this!!

And this was my wife!!

 

Wow, i'd like to see a shot from behind. That rig looks like it's on 2 wheels.

Major pucker there..

 

Oh my GAWD! COS... A lot of pucker power there! Great pic! What trail was that?

 

It was on two wheels. Look at the shadow of the passenger side rear, you can see light under it, not good!! It didn't go over, but it scared the he!! outta me!!

Yeah, ruined a good set of undies!!
The trail was China Wall, you can check it out on Traildamage.com.

 

That was GOOD about the "small cone pinched in the center of the driver's seat" ...lol

 

Not just two wheels look at the dr rear its only on the side wall , I'd say this is really pushing the limit !!!!! Props to your wife for gettin it square again !!!! OUTSTANDING !!!!

 

I'm gonna have to agree

 

And like a true gent he posted the pictures to prove it!
But look at his ride now!

Rollover became severe makover for the better.
