| Post subject: | 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD ground clearance |
I'm just wondering why my front ground clearance to the engine skid plate is only about 6.5 inches? Currently have 235-70r16 tires with low tread so that might count for 1/2 inch but maybe my suspension has issues since isn't ground clearance supposed to be 9.5 inches? The clearance is the rest of the vehicle is a lot more. Thanks. UPDATE: I read a review of a 2005 where they mention the drawback of having a 6.4 inch ground clearance to the front skid plate so maybe this is normal. So, if that's the case, does anyone know of a quick way to raise the front? Maybe spacers in the front springs? |

Huge NO on the use of spacers More ground clearance you will need a full spring lift Full OME lift with 790 front springs and 948 rear springs, solid 2.5 inches of lift |

With the OME lift is it Just larger springs or does anything else have to be changed? Thanks. |

Spacers in their design put extra stress on all front end parts , plus you are using them with worn out parts to begin with. OME springs used for gassers and CRDs are rated higher to provide better ride and lift |
