Lift and Tyres of your JK

[LeighP]

Thanks for that link....I had another one somewhere that was a bit harder to search that database.
I wonder how accurate that above figure is, as Jeep only quote design ride heights by a measurement on the bump stops, not the fenders.
I mean if this was an actual measurement made when Chrysler was doing the import paperwork for these vehicles, then it may not be correct to the design ride height, as these vehicles start to settle on the springs pretty much right off the line. I know my 12 month old completely stock Overland was about 20mm lower all round than the figure in that database.

thats true for personal before/after reference, but if you want to compare with others and RTA specs then it pays if we're all holding the tape in the same spot otherwise there will be huge variations.
Does that DBOR kit contain any bracketry for correcting camber and track bars etc?

theres no Camber adjustment on live axels unless yours is out of whack you can try offset ball joints or camber shims, JK Camber Spec is -0.25Deg Allowable Range -0.62° to +0.12° but your only going to know that from a wheel alignment, camber wont change with suspension lift.

Bugger....meant Caster...not camber.....damn, its too early, lol.

Yeah, I see your point about the measurement system, after seeing the way they list the measurement on that site....I forgot about that, as I measured mine that way when I first got it based on the info on that government site.....mine had already sagged without any accessories added, lol.

Ok I just checked it again from hub centre to flare is about 615mm both ends.
I did get a rear panhard bracket and drop brackets for the front control arms. I haven't put the drop brackets in yet as I ran out of time. Ride when empty is abit more floaty than stock, but smooth.

oh ok LeighP , well regarding Castor Snort says he got DBOR 2" Tourer Kit which ive just looked up it has "Rubicon Express Control Arm Drop Brackets" so Castor is corrected. I see Front Fox Trackbar Relocation Bolt? and Rear Trackbar Bracket also included to Centre the Axels, so a Full Kit

The front relocation bolt replaces the existing track bar bolt but does nothing for the trackbar, it povides a new mounting point for the steering damper to move it up from its rediculiusly low stock position.

The drop brackets will fix the caster and improve ride.

Just for the record i have a 2.5in lift and my measurments are abojt 595mm front a 600mm rear centre of wheel to very bottom of flare (not the bit that sticks out the most, about 5mm below that - hold a ruler flat under the guard and the top edge is where measured to).

Ah, I was wondering what that Fox "relocation" bolt did/how it worked.
