32" DuraTrac Tires + 2" Wheel Spacers // Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

[@samc1414]

I like it a lot. Every jeep owner should do this.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! And agreed!

[@xondraigreen1980]

Did he have any problems with the spacers after install I plan on doing the same to my Cherokee trail hawk

[@sirgilbert605]

Just got a 2011 jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks for doing this, now ik what to do 😃

[@launamayfield3337]

SAME

[@cypherkey2012]

Did u put them on yet

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

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.

[@famousmidnight]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I agree

[@roelleuss]

Tyler, did you need a leveling kit or lift kit so it wouldn’t rub?

[@famousmidnight]

@@roelleuss Leveling kit. from rocky road front only

[@roelleuss]

@@famousmidnight would there be any rubbing if I were to put 265/65r17 and 1.25 spacers without a leveling kit?

[@famousmidnight]

@@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

[@kev_mo]

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!

[@JDCarsChannel]

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!

[@warrior2soldier]

Just got a Cherokee too I appreciate it

[@JDCarsChannel]

Happy to help!

[@RummyAndKoch]

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.

[@MaddJakd]

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

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks Jordan!

[@Angstvormirr]

Spacers are illegal here but does look badass

[@michaelhorn4540]

I just put some landspyder ats on my jeep grand Cherokee limited and I love them

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

Curious on why he didn’t loosen the lug nuts before hoisting the Jeep? Did he loosen the lug nuts with a torque wrench?

[@demetriv.5652]

Have 32” duratracs on my grand Cherokee. Really damn loud from 40-60mph

[@LTUSATV]

Hey where in MA are you? I have a 2011 WK2 and love those headlamps, where did he get them? I just lifted mine.

[@alexkostenyuk]

Nice , had same tires on my wk2 they are amazing

[@JDCarsChannel]

They're really beefy! Excellent in the snow.

[@xplosiveice1906]

Yo do you have an update on how the 2in spacers last since install?!

[@The.chronic.connoisseur]

Have you ever had problems with those aftermarket headlights? Are they similar to the most popular ones on Amazon?

[@M5verdriver]

Yes, more videos please.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Ok! You got it!

[@mikez6112]

You should definitely try a link lift on this gc and see how it looks with those tires

[@darinjenkins7954]

There's a lot of misinformation about spacers can you give us an update on any issues or feelings about the spacers?

[@JDCarsChannel]

They've held up perfectly! No loosening or wobbling.

[@mac1637]

@@JDCarsChannel Still happy with your spacer install ?

[@zack504boy]

Did you get your jeep lifted or just went straight on ????

[@RoyalBaboon247]

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.

[@xplosiveice1906]

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?

[@latinmuscletv]

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!

🔥🔥🔥 Dope video production too!💪🏾💪🏾

[@nelsoncottee567]

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???

[@JDCarsChannel]

That I do not know!

[@markcasey780]

Looks Great, What LED headlights are those you added also?

[@BB-gd5pk]

I would like to know this also…

[@ashrafno7878]

Hi, how you istall the head light with day light for 2014 & above Grand Cherokee at 2011?

[@alanalvarez400]

If I buy a 1.25" spacer will I avoid rubbing the spindle? With R20 33

[@JDCarsChannel]

That would depend on your suspension setup! But I believe that would work, yes.

[@lennytigre7788]

What kind of headlights are thanks

[@sper]

Nice job. Does that Jeep have air suspension? I have a 2015 with quadra lift (ugh) and I’m looking to do something similar

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes it does! Somehow it worked out (for the most part)!

[@sper]

@@JDCarsChannel haha ya?! Bit of rub?

[@Keevious123]

the link you provided for purchase doesn’t work can we get a new one?

[@checotigerlobitodad]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes it has air ride. We didn’t have to do any trimming.

[@JULIANysuHOHNER]

Looks very nice!!on the front does it rub?any mods in the front?pinch weld mod?

[@andrewra8563]

Can you specify what wheels those are? The link is no longer available for amazon

[@JDCarsChannel]

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

[@Sneak01]

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!!

[@JimmyS1981]

Hey man how do I measure torque ?

[@Lincoln257]

I’m looking to do something similar, but curious, how did it affect your mpg?

[@BB-gd5pk]

What are those headlights.?

[@ayudamiperro]

Hermoso! Ya los quiero para la mia.

[@MCGEE1115]

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!

[@nickwilson175]

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.

[@ChrisMarchwick]

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.

[@cozneffect]

Same here after wearing down a little bit they are super loud

[@ericwhite6272]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Nope! No cutting of the original wheel studs required. Definitely a funky setup 😅

[@NoahFonoti]

Does this give it more ground clearance also?

[@ztjcarolina]

What year is your Jeep?

[@mpilksjr]

Did you purchase new TPMS sensors? Does the TPMS indicator light show up on the dash?

[@JDCarsChannel]

You can purchase new ones and have them coded to the car

[@brianpatrickcork4513]

Can you tell us what size tires you running with the Duratracs?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I don't recall but believe the specific size is said in the video

[@SquatSimp]

Looks good man! Contemplating doing this as well, especially after seeing your video

[@hsallam2008]

How’s your driving experience with those spacers ?

[@basemhana7569]

2" space equivalent to what offset ? Like +18 or something ?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes, approximately

[@fernandomota9235]

Where did you get your headlights ??

[@f5snopro11]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I don’t recall the air mode but you’re right... this probably isn’t the best setup for off-roading

[@_lunavisuals]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

They'll probably just fit!

[@shanefischer64]

Hey how much was that entire set up ?

[@mixmastersim1]

Did you have to do anything to correct the speedo? And is there any rub? I love the 2014+ looking headlights!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Nothing with the speedo. Very slight rubbing occasionally. Thanks!

[@MotorcycleRiderUK]

Is that 32" stock with no lift??

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes

[@evanbaidwan9856]

Is there a lift kit or leveling kit?

[@tylertoohey8725]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

We never had any shaking like that... make sure your wheels are well balanced

[@Andreyhappy74]

Respect guys! 👏👏✊☺️

[@JDCarsChannel]

Much appreciated!

[@dru433]

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

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yeah we installed them. Thanks man.

[@ManoloSeFue]

Good observation. I have a 2012 Laredo and don’t have those lights. I was questioning it myself.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Looks great but can the spacers take off road abuse . I’ve been contemplating getting some

[@size1up]

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.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

@@size1up I was contemplating that exactly thanks man those rims are pricey though 👍🏻

[@ryanyost5767]

Have any idea what headlights these are?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Sorry, they're discontinued

[@mitchc6201]

Any updates on the wheel spacers? Have you noticed any vibrations at higher speeds or significant loss in mpg like that? Have you done any slight off-roading or anything like that with the spacers, any problems? Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

No problems whatsoever! Working out great!

[@taylo795]

Were the spacers required to prevent rubbing or just for looks?

[@JDCarsChannel]

They were installed for the looks

[@devinhoughton1235]

[@JDCarsChannel]

No rubbing except when on uneven terrain and turning

[@josemata3845]

[@bencastle11]

I was considering doing this to my 2017 limited stock because my treads are non-existent now, but I don't have air suspension... Do you think this would still work or would it rub?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I can’t say for sure.. you should try to take measurements of each suspension setup and see if they’re comparable

[@nathanvapenik6089]

Ben castle yes they will work if you dont have the quadra lift. You can go 1 inch bigger than stock tire before you start having issues

[@joeyfierros5735]

Do you have a lift kit on your jeep ?

[@JDCarsChannel]

No lift kit on this Jeep-- stock suspension.

[@ARXDMOS]

your lightbar, where did you pull the wire and switch into the cabin from?

I have 265/50/20 Cooper AT tires on my 16 GC High Altitude and I was considering doing 2" spacers. Would you see any issue with this? I don't think I'd have any but I'd like to get your opinion on it as well.
