effects of lifting
 

What are some effects I'll notice when driving with a rough country 3" lift on 30" tires?
By effects I mean...
Handling
Risk of tipping
Performance
Ect...

Btw planning to lift next week, planning on going bigger tires whenever I run these ones out.

You wont feel much more "top heavy" with 3 and 30, there is an excellent thread on low cog on here, im sure someone can provide the link. As far as performance you wont loose much, if any mileage with the lift and the 30s, you may loose 1 or 2 mpg when you go to 31s...Handling wont be much different. Stuff really doesnt start to get noticeably different till you go above 3.

Thanks!!

If you need any help in the install process feel free to message me, I dont mind helping out newbies when it comes to lifts.

messaging you in private would eliminate the purpose of the forum... information to be shared with all!

It would also eliminate everyone getting all pissed and telling him to search. :p

indeed... and anyone that took the courtesy to search wouldn't find the info he received :tt2:

Lulz

Haha, either way OP, if you have questions either ask me on this thread or message me....hell, or both

I've got the RC 3" full leaf kit and 30" tires.

It... pretty much drives exactly the same. You'll notice that it's a lot smoother going over dips in the road, actually feels sort of soothing in a weird way.

It feels a tad bit more tippy than before, but not but a lot. Very stable.

Handles exactly the same and haven't noticed a change in fuel mileage.

Honestly it feels like how the Cherokee should have come from the factory, IMO. I am very happy with the ride quality of mine.

Off topic I know but I seen my old 76 i was telling you about in a very nice antique dealer last week, it was front and center in the window :gunsmilie:

Wow this is the first time I have heard that RC was not a vary ruff ride. Maby I should have gone with them instead of Zone.

I have a 3in Zone lift on 33s and I would defentaly say the Tires are the bigger factor. The biggest thing is Get It aligned. I have NO idea how I knocked my Toe out but I got a case of the Death wobbles until I aligned it because my Toe and caster got knocked off.

My RC is smoother than stock with bumpers, sliders, cage and gear. Before I added all that weight it was sufficiently rough as ****. I think their shocks are valved for added weight.

i think so too... They're shocks are harsh as hell lol

were you/ are you still using stock lower arms?
