[@idiridir3]

love this tires ,,, i tryed them on wk2 2015 overland , 275/55/20 and they are perfect , no rubbing at all even on parck mode .

[@ontheway1941X]

我也想换轮胎 现在是265 50 20 。不知道换285 65 18可以不可以

[@michaelhorn4540]

Looks good, I just put 275 65 18 summits on my grand, without air suspension, and it definitely made a huge difference and no rubbing. Next im planning on a 2.5 inch lift

[@bobbymccourt6794]

Leveling links look exactly like Stainless rod ends and proline end links from the RC car world. Nice GC!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Man you picked all the right stuff , looks great , not overdone.

[@MadMikeee72]

I love people who talk about articulation in these vehicles. , it's not the same as in a wrangler with a solid axle they are independent suspension.

[@duneattack]

Great video comparing stock to lifted with the leveling links!

[@otiswinters3674]

I am digging everything about your GC! Thanks for sharing your video!

[@Rnmendoza25]

Beautiful set up 🔥

[@dksgarage6061]

Thanks I love it!!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

12:15 amazing , best of both worlds.

[@ManoloSeFue]

That looks sick.

[@dksgarage6061]

Thanks!!

[@RubytheTrailhawk]

I have a 2019 trailhawk that I’ve done a build on. Hit me up if you want to see some pics and get some info on what I’ve done

[@billwatcher9321]

Same sway bars are used on all models within year range. There is no "SRT" sway bar. Also there are no hemi front springs. Same springs on all models within year range.

[@therealron6193]

This is incorrect. There are different bars for SRT.

[@deserttrailscout]

That looks awesome!

[@tightIy]

I'm new to all this but I thought that a positive wheel offset made the wheels stick in further and not out?

[@dksgarage6061]

Yes and no. If your vehicles already has a +42 and you go to a +18 the wheel will be further out. Cause it's closer to 0 than before.

[@juliancaudillo9727]

What would a +1 offset be like? That’s what I’m waiting on to be delivered. same exact wheel and tire size except +1 offset. , and ordering an AirLinks lift kit. Just in case. I would rather the leveling kit but according to your video I would rub.. I was wondering if that +1 would help that issue . I know you don’t have it but I fell in love with your setup just went with bronze instead of grey

[@damonolsen1211]

Thanks for the video. Im in the UK and also have qudra lift. Can i ask? Did you only put leveling links on the front and did you manage to sort the rubbing out and if so how? Love the build. I know you no longer have it, but your help in my build will be much appreciated. Thanks buddy.

[@ArizonaHotSauce]

I also have the leveling links on my JGC and they only go on the front. If you go for the lift or drop then you have to put them on the front and back.

[@swimers100]

I have a 2017 overland , same air lift suspension like yours. My question is does your Jeep also go aero mode when on highway speeds? Mine does and is it possible to disable that feature and does the air link help prevent aeromode from tubing the tires? Thanks

[@dksgarage6061]

Aero mode still Works on mine. You can disable Park mode only. You shouldn't be going fast enough as well as turn enough to rub in aero mode to rub tires. Those must be very large.

[@bmwgroetken]

On those Fuel Wheels it says they have a center bore of 71.50 and the hub size for your Jeep is 71.50. Customoffsets says "hub bore on the wheel is smaller than Vehicle". Did you have to do anything with the bore size on your Fuel Rebel 5's?

[@dksgarage6061]

I saw that when I ordered and called them. They reached out to the manufacturer and adv there wasn't gonna be an issue. They were correct, NO ISSUES at all in this setup.

[@BrittleTights]

@dksgarage6061 I know it's been a while, but I am looking at those rims and they look great. I went on Fuel's website and it says that exact size/spec wheel doesn't fit the Jeep. Were there any modifications you had to make to ensure they fit? Or is that just the Fuel website being conservative with the compatibility? Thanks!

[@dksgarage6061]

@@BrittleTights I didn't have any issues with the wheels fitting. I remember the site said the same thing when I bought them but it all worked fine.

[@BrittleTights]

@@dksgarage6061 That's awesome! Yeah I have a 2014 Summit and need to get some better wheels/tires for offroading for sure. Your Jeep looks great with this setup, so that made it easier for me to figure out what might fit haha.

[@BilgePump]

don’t you need those level links front and back??

[@RAM121264]

That little rub spot on the front when you turn the wheel how long did it take before you rubbed a hole right through it?

[@andyhalliburton]

So the level links - OR2 is still there, correct. What level do you do your daily driving level? How did you turn off the entry exit.

[@dksgarage6061]

Entry exit is turned off in the settings on your radio under suspension (same place you should put it into "tire change mode" before service). daily is still in normal mode just 1" higher. i still have capability for OR2 yes.

[@f5snopro11]

Throw in the RC spacers and get your ride quality back.

Hey brother from where you get this jack?

[@dustinkeez1689]

Did you do anything to remedy the slight rubbing? Did you stay with the level kit? Or did you get the AirLinks lift?

[@dksgarage6061]

I did the air links front and rear

[@dustinkeez1689]

@@dksgarage6061 and that was the satisfactory remedy to eliminate the minor rub?

[@ironman142440]

I’m looking at doing the exact same thing to my trailhawk. On some of the forums people talk about off road 2 not being usable with the airlinks 1” front level. Would you say that there is a noticeable front height difference between OR1 and OR2 with the airlinks installed?

[@dksgarage6061]

OR1 is a 1.5" lift OR2 is a 2.6" lift. Yea it's noticeable. You won't lose the OR2 ability with just the level links. You will lose it if you go with their Lift links though

[@MarekGrubala]

Did the fuel consumption change after replacing the wheels and tires?

[@dksgarage6061]

Yes it did. Minimal difference in my opinion. I'm averaging 18mpg

[@MarekGrubala]

@@dksgarage6061 thanks for the quick reply! for sure in off-road it is more advantageous on fuel consump., and on the road probably slightly worse. Very good job, auto looks great and now send me this car to Poland :D

[@miketreece9540]

Anybody change diff gearing with bigger tires. I've noticed a huge drop in torque.

[@ryanjcoon1]

Did you put level links just in the front? When showing the heights is the air suspension in bottom exit level setting?

[@dksgarage6061]

In this video just the front links. But eventually I did the tears too. The measurements were with the jeep in Normal mode.

What's your ground clearance height on Offroad 2, with this set up? (stock it's 11.3") Love what you've done, plan on copying you (imitation is the highest form of flattery, right). thanks

[@dksgarage6061]

You know I will have to take a look at the ground clearance and measure. Not even sure what's the lowest point underneath at this point.

[@billfrigo7602]

Does it rub in Aero or Normal mode, after the wheel, tire, and AirLink changes? Edit: looks like you’re rubbing in Normal as mentioned @13:00. Did you fix this now? How?

[@dustinkeez1689]

Also curious what the resolve was.

[@vagymsoletvm6567]

You mount space wheels?

[@warrenthayer4258]

Did you need to get an alignment following installation of the links? I'm looking at the leveling links and am curious if an alignment will be necessary afterwards. Thanks

[@dksgarage6061]

I did new tires when I installed them so I did an alignment just to be sure. I'd recommend doing it just in case

[@trullmann]

Looks good

[@PhilippReker]

Hey there! I am about buy a TH, do you find the V6 power still adequate with the larger tire diameter? Did you feel a difference? Did the ride suffer in terms of comfort? Any other observations

[@dksgarage6061]

Unless trying to tow a heavy boat the V6 is plenty.

[@PhilippReker]

@@dksgarage6061 thanks! what milage are you getting with the bigger wheels?

[@dlzchesley]

Your Jeep looks amazing! Have you had any issues since? I've ordered level links for my 2020 Trailhawk and will get rims and tires this Spring (after I take off my winter wheels).

[@dksgarage6061]

Thank you. When I had the jeep there were no issues. It's been traded 4 vehicles ago though.

[@ie6248]

What's the update. Has the rubbing gotten annoying?

[@dksgarage6061]

See my "Walkaround" video. I ended up turning up the links to give it a bit more lift and added the rear links. Did some light plastic trim and it's perfect.

[@petezamora7735]

Did you have to put air links to all 4 tires or just the front ?

[@dksgarage6061]

All 4

[@Teleman01]

Does this mess up your speedometer readings and other electronic stuff going on in the jeep?

[@dksgarage6061]

Anytime you go larger tires you're gonna have the speedometer a difference, but with a little amount entire size change here the speedometer difference is not that noticeable

[@Lunablue2023]

[@ahmadfirdaus3404]

Hey there .. how about tyre pressure sensor ?? Do you put new ?? What happen if change wheel and not replace level link ? Thanks

[@dksgarage6061]

Yes, I had new sensors put in the wheels whenever I had the tires put on. If you go larger tires without the link, she will rub.

[@haithamsm]

Hello bro .. how did you set the speed difference ?

[@dksgarage6061]

There wasn't enough of a difference in the speedo to matter so I didn't set anything. In fact the miles per gallon are actually closer on the dash now when Compared to the manual calculation

[@gerardogonzalez1303]

Did you use spacers of so What kind/brand of wheel spacers did you use ?

[@dksgarage6061]

No wheels spacers needed. +20 offset wheels

[@billiebowling7755]

[@onlinelegend1458]

Hey quick question where did you get your wheels from I tried custom offset but they only have them +1 offset in 20x9 I love them and want a pair

[@dksgarage6061]

That's where I got mine, mine are +20 offset though

[@kevingarrett3919]

I think you have the rebel 6.. rebel 5 don't come in 20 offset.. either way love the Cherokee 💜

Rebel 6's are 6-lug I had those on my F150. These are indeed the 5's +20

[@codywilliams426]

Nice lookin Jeep - looking to do the same thing myself...but have the 20" SRT wheels...and the OG Trailhawk wheels too, might need a third set for my "offroad" look....Question, did you have to trim the spare tire container to fit the larger tire?

[@dksgarage6061]

I didn't get a 5th tire as a spare so I'm not sure. My guess is you probably would need to do that

[@SuperTooterz]

@@dksgarage6061 Did you have to adjust the bi-xenon headlights (downward) at all after the changes? I saw at one place that you have to even with the fancy ones if you want to keep them from flashing folks.

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

How badly do the larger tires hurt the torque off the line performance without changing all the gearing?

[@dksgarage6061]

I have no issues, it's not a Racecar but it's plenty quick enough! I've never needed to turn the sport mode on, but that's also an option for you if need be. I've had a lot of lifted Jeeps, trucks etc and this little V6 scoots in comparison! These aren't 35's

[@Japplesnap]

Seems weird that you would change the rear sway for better handling when you made the handling a lot worse with taller tires and leveling links. If you dont do much off-road driving, why put on those oversized all terrain tires? Is it just about the look for you?
