4xe LCA question

[millerjl]

I have a Sahara 4xe on order and will be swapping the wheels/tires to 17" KMC wheels and 285/70/17 BFG KO2's upon arrival. From reading through a lot of threads the 4xe's are about an inch higher than non-4xe's. That combined with the slightly larger tire had me thinking of swapping out the stock LCA's for the Mopar lift LCA's that are just a bit longer.

Looking for advice... Good Idea, Bad Idea, not needed???

Tires will not have any effect on caster.

drive it and see how it feels prior to doing anything. (Even before the tire swap)

if you decide to proceed with different LCAs, i would suggest buying an angle gauge first to see where your caster is at. (You can get a digital gauge for about $20 from amazon)

Tires are getting swapped before I pick it up. Can't drive it off the lot with 20" wheels and road tires

Was just thinking I would have the LCA's done at the same time... if anyone thought there would be a potential issue.

285/70r17s (stock 392 wheels and tire swap). Nothing else was needed.

How does it handle? Steering tight, no wandering?

Basically the same as stock. Granted, I just did this and haven't taken her out on the highway yet, but nothing I've experienced while driving around town (up to 65-70 mph) has suggested an issue. My steering was loose and wandering when I get her new, but that was due to the tires being super overinflated (42psi). Taking it down to 36 fixed that.
