I Regret Lifting My Daily Driver. Three years ago, I dropped 1,0. Jeep Cherokee. And while I initially loved the way it turned out, Ive grown to detest almost everything about my new suspension. Lifting my daily driver was a dumb idea. The main reason I lifted my Jeep was because it was starting to look a bit pathetic with its saggy rear leaf pack, heavily scratched paint, rusty rocker panels, and off color drivers side fender.

Look at that muscular stance. Dont miss out on movie gems, whether an epic blockbuster, an indie comedy, or a mindmelting foreign drama. With the Movie Machine, wel. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Those beefy 3. 1 inch tires. All that extra ground clearance for off roading. It is beautiful. But I had to sacrifice a crap ton for that look, and in retrospect, it totally wasnt worth it. Never mind the initial 1,0. Never mind trying to cure driveline vibrations, or adjusting the track bar to keep the 3. Never mind all that. What I do mind, however, is when Im headed home on a quiet night after a long day and BAM, I hit an expansion joint. Two seconds later BAM, I ran over a grasshopper. A second later BAM, I ran over an endoplasmic reticulum. Three seconds later BAM, I ran over a fermion. You get the point the ride quality is abysmal, even with my Bilstein 5. And thats the issue with a lot of these lift kits, including my relatively pricey Rubicon Express one the springs are often too damn stiff. Of course, my peril doesnt end with just poor ride quality. The handling also got much worse thanks to the higher center of gravity, the braking got a crap ton worse thanks to the larger diameter tires, and my god, the acceleration. This Jeeps grunty four liter motor makes 1. R1. 5 tires. But with the 3. Jeep is now downright slow. And that makes me sad. Wind noise is also up, thanks to more exposed suspension parts, steering parts now wear out faster, and fuel economy is drastically reduced. I used to score about 1. MPG highway, and now Im at about 1. Thats almost a 2. As someone who drives total shitboxes regularly, youd think Id be comfortable in a loud, inefficient, poor handling, poor braking, slow vehicle. And I totally am. But in this case, looking at the data, this lift kit just wasnt worth it. If this werent just a grocery store runabout, but instead an actual off road rig, maybe Id say it was worth it. But Ive got a purpose built green Jeep XJ at home that Im not at all afraid to hammer on off road. As such, this red Jeep rarely sees mud or rocks, rendering my lift kit all but useless, and the negative consequences of the install all the more annoying. I kinda just want my old springs back. But man that rear three quarter profile. Whew, it makes me weak. Bus driver in crash that killed Cobb brothers turns himself in. Change password. new. Password. Form. Password. Password. Confirm.
