CRDSTU Coil Lifted WK2 - pics

[CRDSTU]

Well we've finalised the coils for the WK2s.

Given the rear of these vehicles are relatively 'lifted' compared to previous years efforts, we went with a 40mm lift in the front and 30mm in the rear.

There probably wont be after market long travel struts out for these guys for a while so we've developed Anti Top Out Plates for front and rear struts.

Spring rate is increased but only marginally. I was very impressed with the ride quality of the factory setup. Again in comparison to the stock WH's, the WK's are much 'sportier' to drive and ride in.

Here's a few pics of the final result we just did for a dealership - if you want to see this vehicle in person, head up to Northstar at Redcliffe

Nice work Stu,

You should advertise your Gear on the US sites, as there isn't a lot available for the WK2's yet :)

For those suspension experts is it best to wait for the struts or are the top up plates just as good?

Whenever the extended struts come out they're only going to be marginally longer, if at all, and we'll all be waiting a while for them.

Strut top plates / spacers simply push the struts back down to compensate for the added height reducing the top out aspects. Good thing is the ride quality's are'nt compromised.

Thanks Stuart, when will you have prices available for the modification.

Hi CRDSTU
Looks great, like the black wheels, great to see Aus getting one of the first lifts for this great vehicle (we love ours)
What size tyres do you think you could run with this lift, would 275/65/18's fit.?
Also up here in the NT we have adopted the national code of practice for vehicle modification, VSB 14, section 2.6 regards vehicles with ESC, have you or are you working on getting some thing form Jeep saying the WK2 ESC is not affected by this lift?,
I would love to run this lift with 275/65/18 tyres, but need the VSB 14, 2.6 to register in the NT

Great work Paul

I think the 275/65/18's would fit no problems but we havent had a car that wanted to go upto that size as yet.

No we havent done anything in relation to that NCOP as yet. Given the time and money we might but for the moment no.

They're still the stock size. 265.60.18's

We'll probably go up a size on the next one to a 265.65.18

The width of the stock tyres isnt the drama, its the depth of the side wall that concerns me. THe stock Kumo tyres are honestly junk - considering the prestige of the new WK I'm shocked that Jeep chose to put them on as OE equipment

Anybody got a link to the tyre regulations that apply in each state. Trying to work out the largest legal tyre replacement for the GC.

I know a LTD for sale with 265/50/20's on it. I thought they were standard.

[zzkazu]

That because the rolling diameter of 265/50/20 is basically the same as 265/60/18's. So the question is how large can you legal go in diameter before its a problem.

Ie 265/65/18 is 26.5mm larger in diameter

Here is a link for National Code Of Practice, light vehicle modifications you need to take into account the whole document, for your own state requirements contact your local road transport authority
