New guy with a '96 ZJ, time to get it trail ready!
Hi all. I just picked up a 1996 Grand Cherokee Limited. She has 204k miles but is running very well and strong.
I believe it has a 3" Budget Boost sort of spacer kit on it from what I can see. I do know that the 265/75/16 tires look tall but the speedo reads dead on with a GPS.
So... I've never owned a Jeep before. Loving this one though.
I have a new set of tires and wheels that I was planning on running on another truck but that truck broke in a big way before I got to run them. The tires are 33" and fit on the Jeep but not when you turn, haha. So i'm planning on getting the Iron Rock Offroad 4.5" kit and fitting the tires/wheels.
Is that a good kit? Also, the rear axle is a little forward of center, i'm assuming because of the spring spacers, will the lift kit fix that for me?
What are your suggestions for this rig? Again, i'm new to Jeeps. After driving this one i'm not sure why though because it's pretty great
P.S. All that oil under the Jeep, that's not the Jeep's fault. You see that guilty looking old Ford pickup in the background? It's usually parked there and the rear main seal leaks.
