HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- This is a how to on mounting a set of 285/70/17 KO2 tires to e jeep grand cherokee wk 2007-2010. I have seen a lot of misconceptions out ther eabout what it takes to run these tires on this platform. i have trailed it, daily it, and towed with it in its current form. I preforms flawlessly.
Add a 2"Spacer or puck lift, Trim the fuel tank skid, One inch wheel spacers, and a pinch seam mod front and rear. Nothing that cant be taken car of in a solid day of work in the driveway with minimal tools.
Hope this help some of you as the platform is becoming more and more popular.

Thanks a million. my back rear right tire was rubbing on the trail and I knew what to do thanks to you. I also checked out the gas tank area that you mentioned you trimmed as well and looks like mine is touching as well at full droop. I'm going to have to trim that next. Also when I was doing the rear fenders I had that song playing in my head the whole time "ooohhhh ohhhhhh ooooohh oooooohhh" :) thanks again
I went with a 3.5" lift kit w/1.25" wheel spacers. (2005 JGCL) 285/70/R17 on the factory wheels.
No rub.
Did you leave everything else stock
Thanks for the info! I'm about to go do the rear trim to fit my 255/80's that are rubbing. Cheers!
glad i could help!
little advise for folks doing this, get some flex seal and paint it on thick before you hammer over pieces, then when knock flat go over top, yes its slightly messy but the seal is perfect
i would NOT use flex seal. use a proper automotive seam sealer. or rubberized undercoating. far mor R&D for this application that flex seal.
@@RideRevival_Outdoor it works damn good because it penetrates good especially when you dont have any available at the time
@@tonymengela3575 im totally a fan of do what you can, with what you have! glad it worked out for you. 😁
@@RideRevival_Outdoor I will agree that using the best when you find out is the best path, in the long run quality over everything. I just couldnt get a lot of those products at the time and honestly it does go on thin but it really penetrated and then I gave many coats to make it thick. That stuff you have though is pretty sticky and Im wondering if you did a double whammy type thing with the thin flex seal that penatrates first let dry and then this product over and thick........ cheers im gonna go over everything with this because I can order it now
@@tonymengela3575 nope, i went over everything step by step. some seam sealer are thinner. the 3m is a lot thinner, but works much the same. id not hesitate to use either 3m or dynatron. make sure you get all the old stuff off with a wire wheel or something 1st. then reapply. best of luck! hope it work out for you.
Great vid
thanks!
Good content bad background music when you're talking.
Was wondering about how to do the rear, great video man 👍
thanks! glad you found it.
Good job brother, thanks for thr info. Starting to think my 05 wk to lift and do 285.
This is very interesting. Great video
thanks!
This is a great video man!!! Really really helpful...helped me make up my mind...
Thanks
glad you found it, i hope the new setup is everything you want out of her.
Great video! Thanks for the info.
Great video
thanks!
Do you need the wheels spacers to fit these tires? I have a 09 overland hemi and I’m looking to fit 285/70r17s, great video too btw!
its going to depend on wheel and offset. i could have gotten away as little as a 10mm spacer, but wanted to get them out a bit. hence the 1 inchers. if i were a betting man, id say yes, a spacer in one form or another will be needed.
I’m running 265/70-17 on 17x9” M/T Sitebiter II with -12 offset they are 55mm out the fenders!!!
So how does you offset 44.45 PLUS (minus) the 1” spacers (=offset 24) AND 285 tires fit INSIDE the fenders???
I can not for the love of the lord make the math add up!? Please help!
Amazing 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Team Ride. Im looking at a good local deal on some 285 60 18 blue rhinos. I have an 09 grand cherokee laredo v6; wondering if a 3" lift and wheel spacers would allow for me to get these tires on. Anything I should know?
I really like your WK. I have a very similar 2 in budget lift which I am currently installing. Any tips or tricks on reinstalling the front spring assembly. I tried using a spring compressor to get it past the upper control arm, but I am struggling.
install the top 1st, then secure the lower fork. might have to pop the steering TRE and or the sway bar off both sides to get enough droop out of the front to do so. i do remember struggling with this a bit. take a breath, grab a brew. come back at it, she will go. best of luck! thanks for the props.
How’s the jeep holding up ? Meaning stock upper control arm ?
well, it was due for suspension before the lift and tires. it did well for 3 years. last january, it got a full suspension package. stock control arms, but i went with an upgraded upper ball joint from TXR, it has been fine since. and we have done some more moderate trails with it than ever before. still glad we did it all, even if the thing is a money pit LOL.
What size spacers do you run?
One Inch
I wonder if big fat tyres are worth it. Is there a sustantial improvement???
as far as stance, look, height, and offroad capabilities. YES! it is far more capable and reliable taking it offroad. I would have NEVER hit a trail in stock form, now, it rocks single black diamonds all day long.
Mmm
I really think its about looking good more than a performance. I have a 2009 WH JGC diesel and I would never go to these lengths and similarly I cannot see the sense of climbing over giant boulders or headlight deep mud holes for fun, it just shows me they have no respect for their vehicles or too much disposable cash, let alone the time one would have to put in repairs and worse for me Cleaning the MUD off, after a trip. Encroaches too much into BBQ or Beer time. Hey but thats just me.
@@NLJ1953 yep. That's just you.
Why not rolling those fenders with old hot rod trick and use a bat? It would keep it’s structural strength better than sliced.
because thats a good way to ruin a lot of your body work, and not accomplish much more. you cant get the seam down flat, and you will wave the quarter panel really bad. like you said, old school. I have a Proper fender roller in shop.
А при поднятие с проставками ненадо менять амартизаторы ?
not with a two inch kit. should be fine.
Did mine but control arm rubs on spring coil. I'm still on stock tires. Maybe it's. By that
probably need those wheel spacers!
We have this music, but we cannot remember who it is so we can play it. It’s such a groove. What is the Band’s name, please? We can find the song…
Red Echos - The Last Parade. Coincidently, I like that groove so much, I sent it to Barry Richman to see if they wanted to cover it. I remembered that email and I found it!
@@dirtysouthtv2209 you got it!
I'm on a 3 inch spacer lift anything u recommend I get parts wise other than the jba upper control arms took it to other shops after my upper control arm balljoint snapped nw it's not the same they say I need alot but to sure wat
at 3" you can look into a diff drop kit. this will help correct the front lower control arm and steering TRE angles.
Thanks man
@@rjmeeks7215 very welcome, thx for stopping by.
what are your tire dims?
285/75/17
What type of level kit did you install?
motofab 2"
What size are the tyres?
285/75/r17
@@RideRevival_Outdoor i have standard 17 alloys i want to upgrade them and get a lift kit this lookes awesome and i bet they are good offroad
@@petricachirila7156 it flat amazes me every time we use it. if you surf around my channel you will see a lot of built jeeps. this always performs well, even having a high personal bar as far as difficulty. well worth it. get jscan or a tuner to adjust the tire size. this also adjusts shift points for your trans.
How big of a tire can you run a stock wk ?
i dbe willing to be a 245 fits nicely, a 265 may rub at lock and during suspension cycling. stock height is tough.
How much you spend😅?
ahh cheap jeep mods :D
Had to quit watching this video as the music was just too annoying (honest feedback)
