Ride Height?

[pauladiver]

Hi,

Have searched but can't find it....

Trying to work out how much my 2003 KJ has sagged! Anyone know what the approxiamate distance should be from top of tyre to wheel arch on a 2003 2.8 CRD? Ir's totally stock on 235 70 16s.

Mine's about 5 inches.

Cheers,

Paul

measure from middle of the front wheel to bottom of the flare to get the true height

Thanks for the advice - what sort distance should it be?

Gasser's after April 12 2002 would be in the 19-19.5 area
CRDs should be in that area as well

Thanks mate.

Blimey....mine's down to 18'' all round, I guess that's pretty typical it's done 115k.

Actually you're pretty good,...........joking of course
I had a 07 come in with 95,000 and was at 17.5
Was wondering why it was making strange noises :doh2:

Think I better replace those springs (and shocks) before I put the 245 70 16s on. Might as well do a mild lift while I'm at it.

Can't work this out...H&R Jeep Cherokee KJ (Liberty) Raising Kit 01 (+)40mm Lowering Springs | eBay

Raising Kit - lowering springs (+40mm)?

 

[tommudd]

Kind of confusing but those are lowering springs
Stick with OME springs and shocks since you have the CRD

 

[pauladiver]

Had this in mind - JeepinbyAl.com - Detail1 - OME-KJ-1.5-CRD-HD-L - OME 1.50" lift kit - Old Man Emu Suspension Products - Jeep Liberty KJ (2002-2007) - JeepinbyAl.com

I do a bit of towing (MX bike), and lugg dive cylinders about too so thought of going HD. What do you think?

 

[tommudd]

Yes thats the best kit you can get for the CRD
front springs are 90 lbs heavier so will hold up more as well as the rear
Great all around kit, you'll be happy with it !
Just mention my name they'll take care of you
