It’s so annoying how no one is modding their wk2’s and nobody is making aftermarket kits/upgrades for them since there’s not a big enough market for it. I understand price margins are slim to produce wk2 lifts/bumpers/etc. especially compared to the wrangler. And most wk2 owners are suburban soccer moms that don’t even know what a torque wrench is, let alone being interested in modding their grocery hauler. But still.. compared to the Wrangler, the GC is still highly capable off-road in its stock form and could probably be pretty comparable to the JK with some minor fender/bumper adjustments for clearance and beefier suspension system. But unlike the JK, it’s extremely comfortable to ride in and it’s handling/performance is light years ahead of the JK when comparing ride quality. Sure it doesn’t have extremely low gears and can’t crawl boulders but in my opinion the GC is so much better all around and would be so much cooler if there were more options for off-road specific modifications. I’m lucky enough to have a mechanic background so I’ve still been able to custom fab a few things to get mine where I want it but would love for someone to come out with some off-road inspired fenders/bumpers/front end that don’t look bulky and ugly but give the GC much needed clearance. A guy can dream I guess...rant over. Love the vid, keep the wk2 mods coming!
I totally agree! Most wk2's never see off-road use, nor do JK's... but the wk2's off-road ability is definitely underrated. Hopefully companies will begin to produce more wk2 off-road parts as the market grows. Thanks for the comment and support!
What’s the verdict after driving on them for a while? Loudness get annoying? Mileage becomes unbearable? Looks great. I just got a 2013 and want to modify it, starting with a more capable wheel and tire package. Thanks for the video! And thanks to your boy Christian for being the guinea pig.
@@roelleuss I doubt it. I had 265/65/18 zero rubbing. I'd recommend doing that if you can find some 18's on ebay. looks perfect I found a good deal $500 for all 4 wheels
This looks great but what about Aero-Mode??? This question was asked and not responded to 3 times in this thread. It is so relevant...what happens to rub in Aero-Mode which cannot be overridden???
I have a 2017 grand cherokee trailhawk and put 285/70r/17 and got extremely bad rub with them. any ideal on how I could fix them to fit or should I go with different tires or add spacers. please help!!
And problems with the speedometer, air pressure sensors ect. after the changes? I have a 2015 overland with factor 20s on it that definitely needs some more aggressive tires maybe some smaller wheels on it!
32's throw off your speedometer about 3 to 4 mph. When I'm doing 75mph, I'm actually running closer to 79. You can have your speedometer calibrated as long as you don't have a 2021 model.
Great video bros! I just put some duratracs on my 2015 gc. Is it normal to hear everything in the cabin? Like it’s loud af in the road until I get to 70mph. Thanks and keep it up!
Hows your CV joints? 😅, looks good but it kills those joints and boots. Not being negative as im thinking of doing it but, did it on the WJ and was nothing but cv issues all the time.
2in spacers look mean asf! I just installed 2in spacers on my 17 Limited with stock suspension and stock 18” rims with Wildpeaks. I have slight rub on front fenders when turning. Did you have to trim or had anything rubbing on front fender lip?
I installed the Rocky Road WK2 lift and leveling in January 2019. It’s advertised as a 2.5” lift in the front and 1” in the rear. I never measured to see if I got exactly that but I will say it sits quite level. Running JKU Moab wheels with 1.5” spidertrax wheel spacers and 32” tires (255/75/17). No issues and no rubbing. My only complaint is that I think a wider tire would look better, but since I had these sitting around with almost new tread figured I’d wait until I need a new set.
@@monsignorwj3947 I thought spidertrax only made 1.75" spacers with the M14 x 1.5" lugs? Did you drill out the 1/2" holes in the spacers to fit 14mm lugs?
Just get a wider rim. I dont have spacers and mine still stand out but with a wider tire. A wider footprint is way more valuable than a wider stance for offroading.
Does this overland have airride suspension? If so, did you do any trimming? I run. 275 65 18 on my trailhawk WK2 and out 1.50" spacers in the front and it rubbed until it was lifted to offroad 1.
Can you do a vid on the install of the light bars or have you already and I missed it 🤔, I have way more questions I have a 2013 overland I want to do similar things
Did you ever experience the car shaking especially in the steering wheel when you put these on? I’ve taken mine off and put them back on twice now after fixing a bunch of stuff and still can’t seem to find out why I have this problem.
omg....be careful man.....you were going over some crazy terrain. I think i may have seen a 1 inch bolder in one of your final shots. But hey, all the good folks at starshmucks will love it !!
Did those headlights already come with the car? Or did y’all on install them? And nice video btw jeep looks nice. I got a 2011 but it’s a Laredo I’m tryna see if y’all got them lights cuz it’s an overland
How do you like the duratracs? I put them on my 2013 GC OL. After a few months, the tires started their normal wear and got extremely loud. Just wondering if it was only me. I ended up pulling them off and going with the TrailRunners.
what air mode are you in when on the snow pile. i have 275/65/18 and 265/65/18 on order w/1" spacers already on, but i off road quite often in dunes and snow trails. it looks like if you hit much of a bump when at turn you'd put the tire right into the fender.
I like it a lot. Every jeep owner should do this.
Thanks! And agreed!
Did he have any problems with the spacers after install I plan on doing the same to my Cherokee trail hawk
Just got a 2011 jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks for doing this, now ik what to do 😃
SAME
Did u put them on yet
Sell it ASAP, as a former 2011 Laredo owner, I will tell you that particular Jeep is going to empty your bank account as it did mine.
I just put some landspyder ats on my jeep grand Cherokee limited and I love them

Curious on why he didn’t loosen the lug nuts before hoisting the Jeep?
Did he loosen the lug nuts with a torque wrench?
Have 32” duratracs on my grand Cherokee. Really damn loud from 40-60mph
Yes, more videos please.
Ok! You got it!
1.5'' probably would have looked a lot better at stock level. Ending up going 1.25'' on mine with the 32'' tire definitely drives like a Jeep should.
I agree
Tyler, did you need a leveling kit or lift kit so it wouldn’t rub?
@@roelleuss Leveling kit. from rocky road front only
@@famousmidnight would there be any rubbing if I were to put 265/65r17 and 1.25 spacers without a leveling kit?
@@roelleuss I doubt it. I had 265/65/18 zero rubbing. I'd recommend doing that if you can find some 18's on ebay. looks perfect I found a good deal $500 for all 4 wheels
The hair flip ❤️
Some else sexytized a WK2. I dig. Not enough people doing things to the GC as of late. Wasn't sure how it would look just stanced but it works well
Thanks Jordan!
Yo do you have an update on how the 2in spacers last since install?!
Spacers are illegal here but does look badass
If I buy a 1.25" spacer will I avoid rubbing the spindle? With R20 33
That would depend on your suspension setup! But I believe that would work, yes.
You should definitely try a link lift on this gc and see how it looks with those tires
I got brand new 31s R17 with a width of 10 im wondering if they will fit my 2014 Jeep grand without an air suspension.
They'll probably just fit!
Hey man how do I measure torque ?
Nice , had same tires on my wk2 they are amazing
They're really beefy! Excellent in the snow.
This looks great but what about Aero-Mode??? This question was asked and not responded to 3 times in this thread. It is so relevant...what happens to rub in Aero-Mode which cannot be overridden???
That I do not know!
2" space equivalent to what offset ? Like +18 or something ?
Yes, approximately
Hi, how you istall the head light with day light for 2014 & above Grand Cherokee at 2011?
the link you provided for purchase doesn’t work can we get a new one?
Can you specify what wheels those are? The link is no longer available for amazon
I don't recall the specific brand... it must've been a flash sale of them because we can't find the link anywhere. Sorry
Bonjour qu’elle est la dimension des pneus s’il vous plaît ?
🔥🔥🔥 Dope video production too!💪🏾💪🏾
What are those headlights.?
Have any idea what headlights these are?
Sorry, they're discontinued
I have a 2017 grand cherokee trailhawk and put 285/70r/17 and got extremely bad rub with them. any ideal on how I could fix them to fit or should I go with different tires or add spacers. please help!!
What kind of headlights are thanks
Hermoso! Ya los quiero para la mia.
And problems with the speedometer, air pressure sensors ect. after the changes? I have a 2015 overland with factor 20s on it that definitely needs some more aggressive tires maybe some smaller wheels on it!
32's throw off your speedometer about 3 to 4 mph. When I'm doing 75mph, I'm actually running closer to 79. You can have your speedometer calibrated as long as you don't have a 2021 model.
What year is your Jeep?

There's a lot of misinformation about spacers can you give us an update on any issues or feelings about the spacers?
They've held up perfectly! No loosening or wobbling.
@@JDCarsChannel Still happy with your spacer install ?
Hows your CV joints? 😅, looks good but it kills those joints and boots.
Not being negative as im thinking of doing it but, did it on the WJ and was nothing but cv issues all the time.
Do you have a lift kit on your jeep ?
No lift kit on this Jeep-- stock suspension.
Did you get your jeep lifted or just went straight on ????
Hey where in MA are you? I have a 2011 WK2 and love those headlamps, where did he get them? I just lifted mine.
Looks Great, What LED headlights are those you added also?
I would like to know this also…
Me too
Have you ever had problems with those aftermarket headlights? Are they similar to the most popular ones on Amazon?
Can you tell us what size tires you running with the Duratracs?
I don't recall but believe the specific size is said in the video
Would 285/55/20 nitto ridge grapplers fit on my stock 2014 summit ?
Sorry-- can't say for sure. Did you give that size a shot?
Nice job. Does that Jeep have air suspension? I have a 2015 with quadra lift (ugh) and I’m looking to do something similar
Yes it does! Somehow it worked out (for the most part)!
@@JDCarsChannel haha ya?! Bit of rub?
2in spacers look mean asf! I just installed 2in spacers on my 17 Limited with stock suspension and stock 18” rims with Wildpeaks. I have slight rub on front fenders when turning. Did you have to trim or had anything rubbing on front fender lip?
Respect guys! 👏👏✊☺️
Much appreciated!
Does it ride ok? Any added wherl noise
Rode and towed great! The wheel noise difference was hardly noticeable. Tire noise will get more noticeable if you go to a mud tire with big treads
Does this give it more ground clearance also?
what size rims and tires?
Did you purchase new TPMS sensors? Does the TPMS indicator light show up on the dash?
You can purchase new ones and have them coded to the car
Anyone added a 2” leveling kit with 1.5” or 2” spacers to their JGC Altitude WK2?

@@tinpea It’s been a couple of years and they may in fact be 1.75”. I’ll have to measure the next time I rotate.
I've got the exact same Jeep minus the color mines Silver with 10"wide rims and no spacers I stick out about 4"
Does it rub?
Looks great but can the spacers take off road abuse . I’ve been contemplating getting some
Just get a wider rim. I dont have spacers and mine still stand out but with a wider tire. A wider footprint is way more valuable than a wider stance for offroading.
@@size1up I was contemplating that exactly thanks man those rims are pricey though 👍🏻
Where you get your headlights?
Check out our headlight install video - there’s a link
My 14 grand Cherokee tires stick out about 4”
How do you do that? Offset?
why you use those spacers if you can simple buy wheels with minus ET index... it would way more better for your bearings and front axels...
Is that 32" stock with no lift??
Yes
Is there a lift kit or leveling kit?
Did you have to cut the original wheel studs to make the spacers work? That's a really funky set up and I think it looks great.
Nope! No cutting of the original wheel studs required. Definitely a funky setup 😅
Does this overland have airride suspension? If so, did you do any trimming? I run. 275 65 18 on my trailhawk WK2 and out 1.50" spacers in the front and it rubbed until it was lifted to offroad 1.
Yes it has air ride. We didn’t have to do any trimming.
Where did you get your headlights ??
Are those lights I see behind the grill?
Yessir
Can you do a vid on the install of the light bars or have you already and I missed it 🤔, I have way more questions I have a 2013 overland I want to do similar things
What’s the the tire size 275 what ?
What’s the actual size of the new tire?
Link below
If you have 20inch rims oem you can put 275 55 R20 which fit perfect, zero rubbing
Did anyone else see how one of the daytime running lights gave out ?
Just got a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited on Monday... and thought about spacers... guess who’s buying spacers 🙃😂
Oh gosh 😂 what size are you throwing on?
I’m looking to do something similar, but curious, how did it affect your mpg?
Wheres the WK2 channel?
Hey how much was that entire set up ?
your lightbar, where did you pull the wire and switch into the cabin from?
The light bar is actually hooked up to a wireless remote
JD Cars say what? Where can i find one and do u know if it works for the rough country lightbar??
Did you ever experience the car shaking especially in the steering wheel when you put these on? I’ve taken mine off and put them back on twice now after fixing a bunch of stuff and still can’t seem to find out why I have this problem.
We never had any shaking like that... make sure your wheels are well balanced
Выглядит отлично!
omg....be careful man.....you were going over some crazy terrain. I think i may have seen a 1 inch bolder in one of your final shots. But hey, all the good folks at starshmucks will love it !!
No Lift on that?
Nope
The chrome grill has got to go blacked out
Do you have a link to those headlights
In description of headlight installation video
I can do it to my 2019 high altitude????
I can't say for sure, but probably!
Probably, I'm about to get one as well
Dominican809 did you do this? I’m about to purchase a 2020 altitude and this is something I’m interested in
Hi ... from where you get the headlights
goo.gl/GLbryA
Did those headlights already come with the car? Or did y’all on install them? And nice video btw jeep looks nice. I got a 2011 but it’s a Laredo I’m tryna see if y’all got them lights cuz it’s an overland
Yeah we installed them. Thanks man.
Good observation. I have a 2012 Laredo and don’t have those lights. I was questioning it myself.
Hey where can I get the headlights like yours? Desperately need a set?
They look like the factory headlights to me. They came with them depending on the model.
Do you need spacers?
I couldn’t tell you for sure but it’s a good idea
How’s your driving experience with those spacers ?
How do you like the duratracs? I put them on my 2013 GC OL. After a few months, the tires started their normal wear and got extremely loud. Just wondering if it was only me. I ended up pulling them off and going with the TrailRunners.
Same here after wearing down a little bit they are super loud
Is this stock height/suspension? Looks dope
Thanks! Yessir, stock suspension all the way around.
@@JDCarsChannel sweet I did the same thing except with bfg K02s and 1.5” spacer!
what lift did you install?
Looks good man! Contemplating doing this as well, especially after seeing your video
Could you find a link to the rims for me. I’ve looked everywhere online for them and can’t find them. Great video tho!
Sorry, they’re no longer available
Check ebay, the code is 9165
Did you have to do anything to correct the speedo? And is there any rub? I love the 2014+ looking headlights!
Nothing with the speedo. Very slight rubbing occasionally. Thanks!
Are those the steel decals from Auto Medals?
I'm not sure where he got them from... but they are steel decals
what air mode are you in when on the snow pile. i have 275/65/18 and 265/65/18 on order w/1" spacers already on, but i off road quite often in dunes and snow trails. it looks like if you hit much of a bump when at turn you'd put the tire right into the fender.
I don’t recall the air mode but you’re right... this probably isn’t the best setup for off-roading
Hi mate, where you bought this headlight from ? Plz
goo.gl/GLbryA
Looks very nice!!on the front does it rub?any mods in the front?pinch weld mod?
Ok what was the tire size you put on? Did you have any rubbing at all in standard mode?
No rubbing except when on uneven terrain and turning
DOPE !
Yeah does it rub when it's lowered
Yeah
Were the spacers required to prevent rubbing or just for looks?
They were installed for the looks
Would the 2in spacer work if it was the 20’s with an off road tire
That depends on the offset of the wheel and the diameter of the tire.
i own a jeep grand Cherokee overland and can't get spare parts for it anywhere 10 plate, jeep won't help me
Where can i buy this and for how much??
