Different wheel sizes for WJ/WG 2004 Grand Cherokee Ltd diesel.

[Ed..]

I would prefer LT's if possible but after doing several more hours chasing specs my brain is now totally frazzled and I may not find something to suit either size or price wise. Don't suppose if anyone knows if the height measurements I posted earlier seem right for a standard lift on my jeep?

By the way I should mention a big thank you to everyone for their input, I didn't think that it would be that had to get an MT in a size that my jeep could handle without mods.

You must have caught us on a happy day.

It must be nearly Prozac O'clock by now.

Heights have been tabled a couple of times but i dont recall what thread.

Yep, I am about to take some myself, brain is now very fuzzy and need to take a break, Fester as you have a 2" lift on your WJ could you tell me what your heights are, might give me some reference to see if mine is lifted or not?

If you only have 480mm from hub centre to bottom of guard then you have the standard suspension fitted which has sagged, I know this as I have just put my second set of springs and shocks on mine since new and I have OME HD springs and shocks fitted for towing and my heights are around the 515mm front and rear well might be a bit more at the back but they certainly make the rig handle heaps better than standard, if you go a 2" lift it will push it up around 540-550mm mark.........standard set up has the front lower than the rear by about 10mm, no one really knows what the proper height is when new but it's around the 495mm mark, rim and tyres size makes no difference.
But with 480mm I'd be getting new suspension, they are a bit tired.

I think the Scorpions and the Geolanders are LT, I'm sure I saw it on the sidewall.


I know how you feel with fuzzy, been new vehicle searching, reaching burn out..................Colorado ...............

Thanks Drover, at least I know now that it isn't lifted, I could raise the back up a bit as I have air bags for towing fitted but probably not ideal. Oh well, another problem to deal with.

Cheers.

Last year I think I spent $450 on 4 OME shocks and about $380 on the springs from ARB, somewhere around there, not much dearer than the first set I fitted some 6 yrs and 120,000 odd Km's ago.

[Ed..]

what sort of labour costs were involved?
