I have a Cherokee WJ. How much better is this stabilizer than the stock one? I am installing a 2" budget boost lift to my WJ as well as 31" tires.

I was short on cash and bought this for a temporary stabilizer for my 05 TJ and it made quite a bit of difference. By the way it's still on. I say for the money you can't beat it.

I have been more than satisfied with the improvement of steering and Tire wobble. I have a jeep Cherokee sport. I put 3''lift n 16 inch tires. Handles excellent!! I'm happy!

I goy 2000 tj, installed 2" spacerlift, and 31" tires, the stabilizer is better than stock, also important to get alignment done, I get all my rides done at firestone, its one of the last shops that offers life warranty on alignment

The stabilizer works well easy install and it is a little firmer than the stock on is with a lift. It works well to take away from the wobble in the steering wheel. I dont think its something that is going to completely change the handling of your jeep but it is noticeable. Ive been really happy with mine

If you're asking if they provide lift, the answer is no. These are the stock replacement. I threw a set of these on my 93 Cherokee and it ended up lifting the rear end about 1.5" compared to the original springs which were over 20 years old. This measurement came from measuring the distance from ground to rear fender flare. Original: 31.5" New: 33". My old springs were very clearly bad. Center bolts broken in both and so weak I could flex them by hand. Hope this helps.

No....what kind of issues are you having? All it does is take the load and levels it more for stability and weight distribution. I recommend getting stabilizer for it to if your hauling a larger trailer.

I'm no jeep expert, but I installed these when I switched to bigger tires. In now running 32x10.5 - 15. These were rubbing on my original fenders, which are just over 4 inches wide. These new fenders are 7 inches wide. I don't have a lift installed on my truck, but no more rubbing in the rear, but I imagine that the fronts would still rub when turning and the suspension flexed at the same time.However I think your tires are the equivalent to 28's. I think you should be good.

I'm not sure how much you are going to lift your jeep but I installed my tires on 8" centered wheels because I wanted the extra stability and a better ride. You can use your stock wheels but why lift if you are not going to compensate with width? This move is dangerous because center of gravity is also lifted making it easier to roll. It has nothing to do with the tires because the tires are great, excellent as a matter of fact. I would highly recommend them.

I use 2 stabilizers. One goes under the rear bumper, and the other goes under the frame before I extend the slide. Our trailer is a Rockwood, which I believe has a very springy suspension, and these stabilizers seem to help a great deal. I still use the corner stab jacks, but I think I would be just as stable without them.

I'm very happy with mine. A friend was impressed with the nice ride, he has a major lift on his Tacoma but is way stiffer then mine. I put them on a 2014 Tacoma, have them on the 3rd setting for about a 2" lift. They use your stock coil springs, but you can also get different coils too. These are a much better way to get a lift then spacers, check out this info: http://www.bilsteinus.com/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload_us/pdfs/Bil_LevShks_WebArticle_01.pdf

Bryan, It is recommended that you use longer shocks with the lift kit. I never attempted to use the stock shocks to know if it would go together with the lift but I know the suspension would not operate properly due to the insufficient up/unload travel limitations of the shorter stock shocks.

They'll bring you back to stock hight and ride and might be a little stiffer I haul a boat and my jeep doesn't sag to much with the new springs compared to the old worn out stock ones. They come with the bushings installed already definitely your best bang for your buck.

No, Thomas, you do not. The suspension geometry is not affected in that manner. The only thing you have to pay attention to is the driveshaft angle and your transfer case. A very select few vehicles will require the use of the supplied spacers. I did not use them on my 1997 Jeep Gr. Cherokee. A definite upgrade you might consider if you intend to do much off road wheeling would be sway bar disconnects. That would allow you the full suspension articulation of the front end and more traction. Have fun.

it will absorb a lot of the road vibrations over the stock dampener. I have them installed on my 2500 ram lifted and oversize tires. greatly took that "truck" feel steering and tamed it down. especially over those road transitions i.e. bridges and uneven lane changes

the lift gives three inches of lift to the suspension.... then the larger the tire, the higher you go... but you will need backspace on your wheels for bigger tires... I was very happy looks great with 31x 10.5x 15

I installed them on my 1998 Cherokee with 33x12.5 tires on stock axles and 4.5 inches of lift. They fit perfectly and look great. You will be very happy with these wheels.

I have a 08 JK with 33" tires and a 3" lift. Before installing, first and second gear would wind out nearing red line if I was driving somewhat hard. After installing, my shift points were changed to make this a more smooth takeoff. I have been running mine on the 89 octane setting. I have been using this for about 10k with no issues. I also programmed the size of my new tires in to correct the speedometer to adjust in tire size. There wasn't much difference since I am only running 33" tires. On the hwy I am getting between 17.5 and 18.2 mpg running 70-75 mph.

I have a 2004 GC Overland (w/o Up Country). My shocks were totally gone as well. I put these on and am very happy with them. They are stiffer than stock but not quite as much as my last GC with UC.Control is great on cornering Not much body lean and I drive aggressively.

Yes & yes. The stock lug pattern is 5x4.5Wether or not it rubs the fender is something to look in to. You should check out Cherokee Forum. All this info with pics will be there. Happy Jeeping!

I put these on my 2011 .... By the time I set the sag, my ride height was the same as it was with the factory shocks with no air. I don't think this is the shock you want if you are trying to raise the bike
