Pics of my ride...

Yeah, I never got around to getting larger tires after I lifted it. I've been at a few different stages with the lift.

At first I just lifted it 2" with coil spacers. I went up from the stock 225/70R16's to 245/75R16's.

Then I got greedy and wanted more lift. I bought a 3.5" kit, that once installed actually gave me closer to 5" of lift. I didn't want that much lift, because I didn't want to raise my center of gravity that much. Plus, it handles kinda funny, and it owuld have cost me more money than I was willing to spend to fix it. I did love the ride though, it rode much better than stock.

So I sold that lift about a month and a half later, and went back to the 2" lift, which is my current configuration. I also have aftermarket adjustable front and rear track bars, and quick disconnect front swaybar links.

My Jeep does seem small compared to some of the other Grands that are out there, but it actually is a fairly typical setup. It works amazingly well, people are always surprised the first time I wheel with them.

The Wrangler guys are pretty cool with Grand owners. There is also a group of hardcore Grand Cherokee owners out there that do some amazing stuff. In some cases, the Grands do BETTER than the Wranglers, because the longer wheelbase helps on alot of obstacles.

Now I'm not at all opposed to getting an H2. Maybe if someone would like to start the "Buy Mike a Hummer Fund" and get all the members to contribute generously, we could make it happen.
