Review on ๐Ÿš™ Rough Country 3/4" Front Coil Spacers for 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Enhance Suspension Performance and Clearance by Tim Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great purchase, great design, my ride just got better!

Excellent! Well made 3/16 inch thick powder coated steel. They went in with little effort, no spring compressor was required. I had to loosen the lower shock bolts and lower stabilizer bar bolt, and then "kick" the axle down lightly with my foot to remove the top of the spring. You don't need to remove the bottom of the spring from the mount, just tilt it so you can place it on the top mount, then slide the top of the spring and its insulator back onto the mount. As easy as cake. mmm Cake. I originally bought these so I could fit slightly larger tires (255/65/17 with stock 2002 Overland wheels with +51mm offset (!) - WTF Chrysler?!? It's a JEEP, not a FWD. Economy- Coupe!). This gave a good 1-inch front clearance for these tires with minimal friction against the plastic insert of the inner front wheel well only when reversing with full lockup. I also unexpectedly found that the ride quality improved slightly but noticeably. The front end doesn't dive as much on quick/panic stops, the car feels smoother and more controllable at high speed (70-90 mph). The curve is also a bit flatter. I suspect it has something to do with the spring sag of the 13+ year old truck, but there are results (subjective of course; YMMV).

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
