I pushed it off for a long time...
It MIGHT be time for some suspension upgrades. I think my Jeep needs a lower center of gravity to help me lower my 60ft times. All you stock 6.1`s with just a vortech slapped on running faster than me with my heads/cam just doesnt make sense... Also I am having quite a bit of traction issues. Hoping it will stick a little better if I drop the Jeep a bit.
Also I noticed how much my Jeep squats when I hit the gas. I feel like im leaning back when hit WOT.
Anyways... I have some questions about lowering the Jeep.
Those of you who have lots of experience with lowering springs please chime in.
1. Do I NEED to get an alignment after lowering the Jeep? I have heard mostly yes, but some people told me not to worry about it.
2. Whats the best setup without a ton of issues? I saw Bwoody springs get rusty on a few Jeeps. Are the Eibach springs real nice?
3. What setup do you guys suggest? I DO NOT want the lowest set because I need my Jeep in the winter to get me places. Its already too low for the snowy weather so I really dont want it that low. I would LOVE to get airbags, but there isnt a kit available for the Jeeps yet.
As some of you already know.. My other car is a Prius. The Prius doesnt have a traction control button to disable traction control. It is literally the worst POS to drive in the snow ever! As soon as 1 wheel slips everything shuts down and I loose all momentum. Scary if your trying to climb any sort of a hill.
Ooh and Paulo... I know I should have lowered it years ago! No need to wait for your post. lol I already know what your gonna say.:boohoo:
