Title: WK Owners
Post by: jay140285 on October 19, 2014, 08:22:24 AM

Think this is mainly James H.

Can you measure from the rear wheel arch lip to the centre of the alloy.

Nats convinced hers is sitting lower on the rear compared to others she has seen.

Cheers

480mm

Sounds like Nat has caught the Jeep bug where it always seems a bit low or the tyres a bit small. A lift kit normally follows a period of these thoughts!

This is where she is going I think,

you may recall her WJ that ended up lifted and on muds (it was meant to be a mum bus)!!!!

I am about to shoe horn 265 70 17 Cooper Discover AT's on the WK in the next couple of weeks.

As the L200 is going I am swapping the tyres as the Coopers are nearly brand new.

FWIW, 2006 WK, 490 rear, 480 front. Almost empty petrol tank, almost full 105l lpg tank.

Mine was parked facing uphill a bit so could easily be the same as Chris'.

They are some big tyres for a WK. I think a 2" lift will be essential! Interested to see how they fit.

Well there are a couple of bolts that need trimming to fit them,

Some forums in states say they just fit, others have had to lift to over come rubbing on full lock.

Watch this space.

Will measure ours this evening

Ok so Nats is sitting at 475 on the flat drive from the bottom of the arch to the centre of the wheel.

Thoughts?

Maybe 1/2" low at most then.

Those 2" spacers lifts aren't much money [emoji2]

That's what I was thinking 2 inch spacers? Good enough excuse I guess.

What would cause the slight sag, just slightly tired springs?
