WH: Finally WH Lifted 5 Inches

[wilsonjeep]

Come on man at least one pic!,!!
I'm at 565 front and 580 rear and thought that was close to the "critical" numbers of 22.5" lift height, keen to see how this goes as I'd like to lift some more!

You're funny drover, made me laugh. Hey cops here aren't too bad. I had a highway patrol officer tell me at maccas while we were sitting having a coffee that I needed to lift my car heaps more to be like those Wrangler guys over there LOL. We were going to hit the track.

33's will only give you a 1 inch lift.

There always has to be that someone LOL.

No, 33s will give me 2 inch lift over the stock 29s. That's what I meant, sorry that I didn't mention that, I assumed all WH owners knew what the stock tyre size is. But over the one's I'm running now, yes, 1 inch. So I'm 6 inches taller than stock at the moment.

Dodgy spacer lift??? Do you have a solution then??? Do some research!!! Everyone that's running massive lifts on WH's (WK's in the US) are using some sort of spacer.

Plus, I have almost new Commander springs at the front which give me an extra half inch for the winch bar and almost new CRDSTU 3" HD coils at the rear.

Looks like we can get away with a pretty big lift in the WH cause they are so low to start with and not many were sold. I have no badges on mine and my last ticket I had the officer ask me after two laps around the car, this is a jeep right!? Is it a cherokee?

Fester never has anything good to say!! He is a very unhappy jeeper, check his recent posts, they are all nasty. We all drive jeeps man , stop trying to be the grinch!!

I didn't know he's unhappy with his Jeep. But mate, come on, do some research. I've been running 2 inch spacers with King Springs in my 4.5 Patrol and outflex any other 4B up to 4 inches of lift. Never had any dramas, solid as a rock. I also got a 4.8 GU4 Patrol with same setup. Been running 2" spacer lift on the Jeep for a few years now and countless offroad trips without drama. Come on!!

I just dont believe in bullshit. I also dont query things for my own twisted grief, rather so that inexperienced people get a complete picture.

In this particular case I believe spacer lifts are a cheap arse way of going about things. If its because noone makes big springs for a WH then we now know. course makes me wonder if there are heaps of big lifted WH's getting around why doesn't someone make a proper spring.

oh I did do my research briteway, I asked someone who has done it.
