THIS IS BY FAR the very best "information" I have seen regarding the Jeep WK and oversized tires. Everyplace else on the internet (ie: forums) tell you to go to a really high lift and I have always hated that idea. I have the 2006 5.7L Limited with the stock front & rear E Lockers and I love it! I'm not one of those people that needs a thousand mods but I have been looking into this exact setup (rocky road 2.5 + bilstein 5100s). I liked this video so I can refer back to it later when I purchase the lift and tires.
I also have the bilstein 5100 shocks which raised the front an extra 3/4", then also modified the rear spacer to add an extra inch. I explain it at the beginning of this video.
@@ubermac85 this vehicle specifically doesn't have much room at all behind the front wheels so unless you want to lift it 6" and still only have 31's, you'll need to cut or modify something.

Need to smooth that. On a pitched turn (suspension compressed) the tires will still rub. Furthermore, if it isn’t completely smooth in the well the imperfections and edges will slice and grind the rubber.
Yeah this definitely isnt gonna solve all rubbing but I was mainly concerned about when I go full lock when parking or turning around, at which point suspension isn't compressed. Also when it does rub it hits right on the smooth surface so it doesn't chew up the tire.

Will 295 fit in the front without spacers?
Depends on what else you have done
Nothing just a stock 06 Cherokee 4x4 Hemi , What all needs to be done I was thinking 1.5 spacer
Kordare 295 /40/20
@@MrDOA313 you definitely need some type of lift, even with 3 inch lift and 1 inch wheel spacers you need to do the pinch weld mod to fit 265/70. Anything more you either need a bigger lift or do what I did in this video.
@@MrDOA313 295/40 is only like 30 inches so you might be able to get away with just a wheel spacer
a litle rock or bump and it hits ??
I'm only full lock when parking so it basically never hits
I’m running KO2 34/10.5/17 on rubicon take off wheels and 1.5 spacers on the wheels... 4” lift in rear and 3-3.5” lift front. Suspension no spacers. And my tires barely clear the rear towards the door... I have no clue how you stuffed those tires there... they look bigger than mine
Haha yeah I even had that 35 on the rear for 100 miles or so and no rubbing.
Joey Shoe got an insta?
@@RealPureHD yup! @kordare_
what if jeep is weighed down or has a tow load?
I haven't had issues rubbing in the rear unless I'm offroading
I think I would have hacked a straight angle and cut off a bigger chunk and welded a flat plate in, and primered and painted it.
Is this the same jeep that was totaled and that you tied to a tree?
Yuuuuup
What jeep is that? What engine also?
2005 grand Cherokee, and it has the 4.7 v8
How is it offroad without QDII ??
It does pretty well, you really miss it in snow and mud situations. Open diffs suck!
Kordare i can imagine it! I have a CRD with QDii
What keep is that
Wk Grand Cherokee
That thing is a beast! Have you tried flex?
Joey Shoe I have similar ideas. Can't wait pt.2 😀
How many of you told your head to the left to take a better look at where it ribs in the front 😆 I did 🤣
A 10"--12" lift is need with that big of tires.
Haha that amount of lift is physically impossible on this platform unless you rebuild literally everything
That's insane yo
Good job dude! Also the WK Hemi 5.7 V8 could fit 17” wheels? Or it’s a problem for brakes? Thanks
Thanks! I'm not completely sure but I'd assume so.
Where you get your rims from
Craigslist!
@@Kordare what are they called if you don't mind me asking am trying to find some for me jeep having no luck
@@randyroberts8240 pro comp 98 series
I like it 😏😏
Thanks 🤘
Wat year is this
2005
4.7L Magnum?
Yup it's the 4.7
The 4.7 is a power tech and 5.7 and bigger are hemi . Chrysler hasn't used the magnum badge in a jeep since 1998 .
Yes I know that's an anal reply ;-)
What size tire is that?
My tires are 305/70 but at the end I test first a 35"
35’s?
Watch the end of the video, I describe the sizes I tested
@@Kordare Thank you
Looks good, as long as you stick to mall parking lots...
Hahaha nope I live in the middle of a forest
