Another mouth to feed - 05 Grand mild lift

[Jeepy]

We needed new rubber for the rig and Rough country came out with a cheapie cheapie 2" spacer lift, memories of being bottomed out on the camp road in the snow came rushing back so I thought the grand could use a bit of love.

Pix from when we first got it





Stuck last winter with unimpressed wife and child. The dog was indifferent.



And the finished product









This mini lift allowed me to run massive 265 rubber (v.s. the old 245's) ;D. About a 30" tire but between the rubber and lift I probably gained 3"+. Don't have good before and after pix or measurements but I clear 9" at the rear diff and 12" under everything else. Only issues are tires rub the frame at full lock and a touch more body roll.

Should help with deep snow and maybe I'll break 400 on the ramp next year! No more holding the air dam up so I can even get on the ramp!

Thanks to CVO for installation

Gives it a really good stance, looks great.

Think I saw you Tuesday evening around 4:30 on Old Sackville Rd... Looked good. Tires are loud!

But I was thinking I saw a red one... so might not have been you!

Probably not me, although black may be the new red. Tires are not too agressive.


On a side note, fuel economy seems to have taken a trip to the crapper. Unless the trip meter is lying.

It's so bad even Laurie noticed it!

Where are the Trxus!?! Or even BFG ATs

LOL, J/K. Looks awesome.

[Jeepy]

Truxus were unavailable, BFG's long trails were the choice but these were on sale!

BFG a/t's are the best looking tire for this application IMO but wicked expensive.
