10 reasons NOT to put a lift kit in your Jeep
http://www.jeepreviews.com/blog/jeep...-in-your-jeep/
- After a lift, your Jeep will NOT ride like it did when it was stock height (don’t believe the marketing hype or message boards)
- You WILL spend significantly more money on your Jeep after the lift kit is installed
- Lift kits lead to bigger tires. Bigger tires lead to new steering parts, better brakes, gearing upgrades, a stronger tire carrier, refinancing your house, etc.
- Your wife/girlfriend will complain that your Jeep is hard to get into and is scary to drive
- 33-inch tires will start to look tiny. Your brain does strange things in an effort to make you justify that 38’s are the new 33’s
- Fixing driveline vibrations & re-balancing tires will drive you insane
- You may experience the dreaded “death wobble.” If you do, you’ll be investing in new underwear
- You’ll get pissed at Jeep for not adding welders and onboard air as standard equipment from the factory
- You’ll start wondering if your Jeep can climb random things (e.g. the rock in your neighbor’s yard, guard rails, the hood of your boss’ Mercedes)
- There will be times when you hate your Jeep and will want to burn it to the ground
