Lowered JL

[thance]

A +50 on a 10" wheel is probably going to rub on the swaybar endlink and/or the LCA at full lock.

But, bolt it up and try it. It's going to have some poke though.

A +50 is only going to move you in about 1/4" over stock. You could should be able to easily fit a low profile 265 and maybe squeeze a little more if you're lucky.

a +50 10" wheel moves it more inboard an inch and a half and out an inch

Something like this wheel and tire combo would look nice and lower it a bit more.

Spinners are a different wheel choice!

Just lowered it a Skyjacker kit.

Not biting the worm cuz there’s a hook in it ???

No, your thinking backspacing not offset. With offset the width of the wheel isn't relevant. ... at least not if a wider tire isn't required. Of course, if you change the tire width half of the difference will go to either side of the new rim.

Kind of a coincidence reading this thread. My wife & I just made the decision last night to sell her Grand Cherokee as we care for a loved one that can't get in either of our vehicles. Recent stroke victim.

Isn’t a grand cherokee basically on the ground already?

@Tredsdert I figured you of all people would like this idea! I just think a two door slammed and gutted would be a fun little go cart!!!

A two-door slammed and gutted would definitely be fun, but it would still have to have four wheel drive. A Wrangler is not a Wrangler without four-wheel drive. Even then, drifting around corners is way easier with four wheel drive. Mind you not really, you have to put not more power into the pedal to get the tires to spin, but still way easier to control than a rear wheel drive vehicle. Maybe they can factor that into the Wrangler Mini??

Should remove the 4wheel drive, while they’re at it.

She had a grand Cherokee I lowered that too wrangler was way easier

Why? I’m guessing a lot of the lifted Jeeps never see a gravel road.

A Wrangler is not a Wrangler without four-wheel drive.

Except, of course, back when 4wd was an option on JKs. 2wd was standard.

A lowered Jeep deserves a rainbow unicorn duck.

I just don’t think unicorns and ducks should be drawn into this.

More than a tinge of disrespect

Dude, that unicorn duck is awesome! lol, I'd rock that silly looking shit all day in the Jeep. Right next to the Orange Mohawk one I have. The other ones I've re-located back to the wild... Too normal.

As for a lowered Jeep... whatever floats your boat, but personally I think it goes against the spirit of the vehicle. Kinda like messing with the slotted grill (angry eyes, etc.) or squatting a truck. Just some things shouldn't be changed... /shrug
