How Does a Lifted Jeep Cherokee XJ Drive On The Road?

[@wolfboi8785]

death wobble happens when suspension components get loose. It can happen to any jeep lifted or not, but I think its more common on lifted ones because most lift kits are newer then the cars they are on and they havnt had the chance for the bolts to rust themselves tight lol but in all seriousness it either happens when bolts get loose, or the holes they fit in get opened up after long years of abuse or such.

[@KCars]

Luckily I haven’t had any death wobble issues and I’m hoping it’ll stay that way

[@fibelow]

Replacing the sway bar bushings on my ZJ really tightened up the steering

[@KCars]

Probably something I’ll have to do

[@paytonr8361]

I've had a 6" lift with 33s on my xj for 4 years now and still watched this for some reason

[@KCars]

Appreciate it! How do you like the 6 inch lift?

been waiting for this video, keep it up man!

[@KCars]

Thanks! If you were waiting for this video just wait until next weeks video, got a banger coming out

GR8 review . Keep posting about her. I got My ‘ 01 WJ 4.0 L because I got a jeep attitude , for speed got my AWD TORO MOWER.🦾.

[@KCars]

Thanks! Gotta take that mower to the strip💪

[@MajorWeakness]

Death Wobble can happen on any vehicle with solid front axle, most common issues is worn track bar bushing

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@abstract1dea]

I had serious death wobble on my xj but it had 331K on it when I replaced the entire front end. Added a 3.5 lift to it afterward and its been good. Lift kit did expose my u joint wear and when i replaced them they were totally worn out. Thinking of the yoke eliminator as the vibration is annoying.

[@jlsgarage872]

Just installed a 4.5" lift on mine with 33x12.5s and it handles better than it did when stock

[@KCars]

Good to hear. Any rubbing?

[@jlsgarage872]

@@KCars sometimes the back of the fender on full turn but I'll end up doing some trimming to fix that

[@KCars]

That’s not too bad, mine rubs the mud flaps a little

[@mattybrews]

Any suggestions on reducing road noise at highway speeds?

[@KCars]

Better insulation. I’ve never actually messed with insulation but I’ve seen people post about it in the Facebook groups that insulation helps keep noise out

[@mattybrews]

@@KCars i think I'm gonna swap the mud tires for streets too

[@KCars]

That should help as well and would get rid of the humming sound

[@ciscog6329]

I just lifted my XJ 4.5 rusty advance kit. And cavfab steering ride good on the fwy but I totally get what you are saying about the Jeep floating around. I currently don’t have a steering stabilizer and when I hit a bump at 45mph or so I want to get death wobble I’m hoping the one I order will fix the issue

[@KCars]

Hmm that’s weird the kit didn’t come with the stabilizer?

[@ciscog6329]

@@KCars yeah man it’s so sketchy but it only does it at low speeds. You would think a kit that cost as much as it did would have all the necessary hardware but it has no spot to mount a steering stabilizer. I ordered an aftermarket clamp and a Fox 2.0 steer shock I’m hoping that’s what it needs 🤞

[@ciscog6329]

@@KCars just subbed btw! 💪

[@KCars]

Hmm that’s interesting, it may have been an additional option for the kit, that’s how mine was. Thanks for the support!

[@ciscog6329]

@@KCars not the cavfab man but yeah.

[@jojo47823]

My XJ has the same “floating” steering. If you ever fix that problem let us know. Lol I changed EVERYTHING except LCR and UCR

[@KCars]

Somebody else commented and said the adjustable track bar should fix that. I notice it mainly when I need to brake heavily then it sort of turns towards one side and I need to correct it quite a bit.

[@Jordan-md3uc]

Sick jeep man!

[@KCars]

Thanks!

[@abstract1dea]

Definitely a firmer ride for a while. After a few months and some heavy loads, it settled out or maybe i just got used to it. Definitely an improvement over my worn out suspension. Lifted it about 6 in. Because it was so worn. Everything that breaks is an opportunity for an upgrade

[@KCars]

That is very true, thanks for watching!

[@chevo785]

On the wheel moving around iv been told tightening ur steering box should fix that ?

[@KCars]

Maybe, I think it’s just a pretty common thing with lifted vehicles

[@rnthiphop]

5:15 (The white van on the right side) i've never seen that van before. i wonder what its called. maybe imported to the US under the 25 year import rule?

[@KCars]

Not sure what it’s called but I know it belongs to the university, they have several different vehicles like that including some small pickup trucks that are pretty unique too

[@rnthiphop]

@@KCars oh yeah? interesting, the small pick up trucks are called K-trucks. they were never sold here in the usa. they must have imported them from japan. Great channel btw. i have a instagram and a youtube channel as well. its 4x4ren for both

[@KCars]

Hmm that is very interesting, thanks for watching!

[@evanthomas7116]

I had death wobble when I lifted mine everything is good now 4.5 an 32” swampers they are loud lol

[@KCars]

What did you do to fix the wobble?

[@evanthomas7116]

@@KCarsdrag link was wore out so I just replaced everything up front even the axle bushings lol

[@KCars]

Ahh nice

[@Cowboy66SEVEN]

What’s the 0-60 time on that Jeep with the bigger tires and a lift

[@KCars]

Never tried a 0-60 time but if I had to guess probably around 10 seconds

[@TheJoePhoto]

I fix Wandering by replacing the Tackbar..

[@KCars]

Got mine replaced, thanks!

[@mattcaselles]

had a 2001 cherokee and i felt like it was going to fly off the road at all times, floated around the road like crazy. i hated it

[@KCars]

Mine floats around a little bit but it’s not too bad, pretty easy to get used to

[@mychannel6718]

Transfer case drop kit.

[@KCars]

Good alternative but I wanted to do it the “correct” way with the SYE

[@bigridge717]

bet that track bar fixed the float, didnt it?

[@KCars]

I actually don’t really notice it as much now but I think I just got used to it over time

[@bigridge717]

@@KCars I had an old Ram that walked like crazy, it was actually dangerous. replaced the track bar and tie rods and it drove like anything fresh off the lot.

[@KCars]

Good to hear, I’ll keep that in mind
