I think I will post mine. I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 L I6 that I haven't had very long. I have wanted one for a long time and I finally had the money to buy one and started searching for one. I bought this one from a soldier that was on his way to Afghanistan.He wanted to sell it because he didn't want to burden his parents to keep it insured and on the road. I loved the color and it was from the south, I had to have it and bought it. I purchased the rims and tires on EBay and had a 4in Rough Country soft ride lift installed. I also had to purchase adjustable upper control arms to lower the caster to get rid of the death wobble and also have had to install a second steering stabilizer to help out. I know that there are those that say a steering stabilizer only masks the problem, BUT I had researched the problem and found out that If you lift a WJ it needs to have the second stabilizer and it needs to be installed in a certain spot to help eliminate death wobble. Here are some pictures of my Jeep.
I am still waiting on my JKS Track bar and some ball joints to totally eliminate my Death Wobble. by next week It will be good to go. I will be purchasing a Bull Bar and I will be installing running boards this week because my wife isn't happy with having to climb up into my jeep. Once the boards are on, I think that she may just steel it from me.

That is my new WJ. I just bought it yesterday. It is a 2000 Limited, Canadien Model. So far it has no lift. I am looking into a 2,5 inch lift for now to put in soon !

Hey 99jeepman, nice ride, I agree I like the blue. I just bought my 2003 WJ yesterday, I pick it up tomorrow, planning on a 4" RC with 33's. Just curious, what size tires are those?

Stage two in this build. 33s, trimming and a 4.5 long arm. Future plan includes shaved d60s and 37s

99jeepman

They are 255/75 17 BFGoodrich Mud Terrains on 07-14 Wrangler Moabs. They are 32 inch tires. If you get 33's you will have to trim a lot so they will work okay.

Thanks 99jeepman, truck looks great, how is the ride and handling after the lift? I'm planning on doing the same RC lift. I know with our JK Unlimited and our TJ both handle much better lifted, you feel the road more, but I'm not liking the Out of Touch feeling with the WJ, yeah it handles the bumps nice but it handle like a wet sponge.

Also, no hitting with that tire? They seem to fit nIce on the stock wheels

Here's a couple of shots of the 2003 WJ I just picked up, 58,000 miles, can't wait to lift it

Mine do hit, but I'm still tinkering with it. One thing that I still would recommend is to buy the kit for death wobble that they sell on kevinsoffroad.com because I just finished installing it after the ball joints and outer tie rod on the drivers side. My Jeep had the problem where it felt like it was shifting from side to side while driving. and you could sit in the driveway and rock the steering wheel back and forth and you could see movement. Now that all of this has been installed, It has tightened up the front tremendously. I just have to drive it and tweak some things. I will probably have to trim a little more but I don't mind.
It ride great but when you get that kit, chuck that drop adapter for the track bar in your recycling bin and if you get that death wobble kit as well, you won't be disappointed. I am so happy that I bought the second stabilizer kit and the track bar. If you need the info for them just let me know and I will send you the link.

I can't wait to see what it looks like when you get done.
