1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Suspension Kit Installation
Installation of the new rear components was then complete.
The new front suspension components were also installed.
We also opted to use Old Man Emu's front stabilizer bar, which was easily installed in the factory location.
With the new and old tires shown side by side, the increase in diameter is fairly apparent. The stock size is a 245/70/16R, which offers a 29.5-inch overall diameter. This creates more than 1 inch of increase in tire size considering that the 265/70R16 BFG T/A offers a 30.7-inch overall diameter. We'll also benefit from a much more aggressive and heavy-duty tread.
The new BFGs were mounted on the stock Grand Cherokee wheels and then balanced.
The tire-and-wheel combo was then bolted up to the Grand Cherokee.
With ample clearance for hitting the bumps without slamming the fenders, the Old Man Emu suspension and BFG tires recreated this Grand Cherokee, giving it increased stability, decreased steering effort, and an incredible on- or off-road ride.
