And lifting it any higher will change the center of gravity not a good idea on a street jeep.Making a emergency lane change at highway speeds might end up rolling it over.

Yeah I wasn't even opening that can of worms, sometimes mine handles like a drunken mule during emergency maneuvers. But it's predictable, just have to remember all the crap I've done to it takes away some from highway manners. The OP sounds pretty new to lifted jeeps so I think he should just find some rims and tires that fit his lift or plan out big cash to get a 7.5 inch lift set up properly.lol.

Yes I know just made an exact quote on that.

Both of these are why I told him he needed to do a lot more reading on the subject, plus the amount of cash involved to do so. Hope he listens about what could be a real safety issue.
