Yes they look good I have the same set up on a 2015 but if you live in a place with snowy weather like Illinois , in the winter it’s a mess because the tire rotation on the rear pushes snow and salt through the rear passenger doors so that’s a spot you have to keep cleaning because of that, JFYI to new Jeep owners getting this set up
Dude, I've been searching for a good setup for my wife's Jeep and this is it. I just pulled the trigger and I'm stoked to get it all on. Thanks for the post and great job!
I definitely had to do my research before I bought anything, but really happy with this setup though. Good luck on yours man, I'm sure it'll come out awesome!
@@Drewfastfx2 I'm not familiar with either of those options. I can tell you though that the RC 2.5 is more of a aesthetic vs. performance. Like the owner of this Jeep, I did it for my wife and she loves it. Came out great and rides like stock. I noticed a drop in mpg but nothing too bad. I also added a cargo roof rack to make it even a bit more beefier.
Awesome video🤘🏻 We got my wife a white ‘15 altitude at the beginning of the year and and have been searching for the perfect setup and you hit the nail on the head! A lot of nice builds out there but not a fan of 20s on these rigs. Simple 17s with 32s is prefect and it sits level👍🏻 thanks for the video
I have a black 2015 Grand Cherokee and want that exact setup! I’m getting fender flares on mine, I already have the nerf bars on mine. Yours Looks badass!
K. i'm gonna have to get this exact setup for my GC. I have the exact same vehicle except billet silver. what did that cost you for everything? Here in Canada stuff costs way more so good to have a reference! thanks for posting
Nice rig. Should do the same to my Overland once the crappy quadra lift dies again, will see how that goes... The WK2 surely suffer from a lot of ground clearance issues compared to the previous gens, but it's still better than nothing!
i got the 3.0 leveling kit and stock 18inch stock wheels but i put the ko2s and wheel spacers. its my family car so for what we use it for it looks nice lol
Howdy! What’s the width of your rims? How well do the KO2’s handle in the rain on pavement? How’s the road noise from the tires at low/high speeds? Thanks!
Does anyone know the cost roughly to have a similar set up installed? Rough idea of lift kit with installation cost would be super helpful. Debating if it’s worth it for my 15. Not much off roading but I would be towing a small race trailer.
I would go with the RRO 2.75” deluxe kit. Raises the front AND rear keeping the factory rake. That way when you’re towing your trailer your headlights won’t be pointed at Mars. $295 for the kit, nothing else needed.
City it's now running about 16, highway is pretty good at about 23ish. Combined sitting at about 18. Just depends on how and where you drive it, and it's very possible the bigger tires have more effect on mpg than the actual lift itself.
@@matthewstark9491 gotcha thanks mine is a 3.6V6 and I have a aftermark K&N cold air intake on it and I threw some black running boards on it. My lift is currently sitting in the backseat that will be put on next week and my 1.5 spacers are coming tomorrow. I went with the rough country lift. Prior to all this I was getting over 30 highway but I'm putting so much weight on it I knew it would happen with the gas mileage I also installed a Reese hitch looking at a bull bar I'll have to do a video and show it off. Thanks for the info!
I've lifted two WK2 Grand Cherokee's so far (see videos on my channel), I did a spacer lift first time around on the first one (2011) but no sooner did we install the spacers the struts blew, so I then did no spacer and added the Rough Country loaded struts. The second Grand Cherokeee was a 2013 WK2, I did the Rough Country loaded struts again in the front with two strut shims and JBA UCA's. Both Jeeps I installed Wrangler take off wheels and tires (32") with 1.5" wheel spacers.
As long as you've had the valve body of the 850RE trans and UC replaced under the recall, the 14s are good. The Hemi and Ecodiesel had very few problems since it ran the 8HP70 trans.
I have a 2014 GC Laredo that I also did the RC 2.5 lift/level. Another simple mod that I did was the RC hidden LED Light bar on the lower front behind the mesh. I live in NW Rural TN and let me tell you at night with all the animals on these roads i also installed the RC 8 Gang switch where I can have it at my finger tips to turn on/off light bar. its better then the high beams by far. Thinking about ditch lights as well.
looks good bro! i just got my wk2 waiting for the weather to warm up a little more before i put my lift on it. How’s it treating you so far ride quality still good?
Thanks man! Ride quality is still great, it's very smooth. I was averaging about 21.5 mpg stock, it's evened out to about 19.5 right now. That's honestly the biggest change I've noticed.
I have a 2020 jeep trackhawk and I'm going move to haiti and I wanna know if I could put offroad wheel in mine trackhawk and mine wifey has a srt 2020 jeep to and I wanna know if I could put off road wheel on the 2020 srt jeep or 2020 jeep trackhawk and what type of offroad wheel brand can I use for it ?
i’m thinking about doing the same thing, what did you do with the air suspension in it? my instagram is turnerclaytonn so that you can get back to me on that one :)
I did, yes. After any suspension or front end work, it's usually not a bad idea. Your mechanic may already include it in the cost of install, doesn't hurt to ask.
If you had to do it all over again - would you set it up the same? Do you like the ride/handling? Does it feel more "trucky"? Do you notice the higher center of gravity or no?
Looks great. In the instructions for this particular lift, it says to check it after 50/500/and every 3,000 miles. Have you done that and/or had any problems with things coming loose over time?
I've had it checked twice. Once after 50-100 just to ensure nothing went loose after install. Another probably at 2000 miles. Haven't checked it since then, but haven't had any issues with it.
