You can still probably wheel it just remember though I'm sure you are at least an inch lower than when new. Also shocks/springs are way weaker so will not take the abuse of going over rocks etc as good as when new etc. Hope you have good skid plates

I have a 2005 Renegade I've had since new and used to go to Paragon Park in Pa when she was right off the dealers lot. I have been only using it lately for road use and have racked up over 125,000 miles on it. She has gotten a bit saggy and with the larger tires I do have some rub. Winter I plan on getting an OME lift but until then, how reliable is the suspension with that many miles on it? Everything is still original except ball joints and tie rods. I am hoping to go up to Rausch Creek sometime in February/March. |

I off-roaded the shitznits out of the 07 I had stock with at's. Broke a front diff mount and nicked it up a bit. When I got my 02 I wheeled it quite the same way. The factory front skid helped a lot when I got a rocklizardfabrication bumper. Finally got tired of hitting the ground so did the 3.5 franky lift. |
