Hey guys, so I am looking into buying new tires for my wk HEMI, I was looking at the Nitto TerraGrappler AT in a size of 265/70/17 on my OEM wheels, does anyone know if this would fit or what I would have to do, ie body spacers or wheel spacers to get them on. I know the stock tires were 245/65/17 and I don't thinki I would have to change anything but would get a better stance and look with the next size up. I would appreciate any feedback you all have. Thanks
really? looks as if I am going to have get a lift, then hard to install? I have access to a lift, i just don't know if i trust myself doing that. hahaha
The WK 2" lift is the easiest suspension lift to install. The rear coils get spacers put under them and the front strut towers are unbolted from the body a steel spacer put in and then re assembled. Should only take a few hours. FYI its a suspension lift. There are no body lifts for any jeep accept wranglers. The newer jeeps, all cherokees, grand cherokees, libertys etc are all unibody vehicles w/ no separate frame.
You will also need rear shocks that are made for a 2" lift.
If you have the money for a good lift i will recommend OME 2'' MD, it is good on road and off-road. you will get a true 2'' lift with added articulation. Daystar, RRO, BDS, RC, RK etc all use the same shocks, you can always upgrade to Bilsteins but they are the same lenght as the stockers which defeat the purpose of lifting.
i fit 265/70/17 on my oem powdercoated wheels i had to do a 2" lift from tuff country and also had to do wheel spacers on the front wheels to keep from rubbing. i used toyo mt's. 2005 wk limited
