If i put a lift on a 2000 cherokee 4.5in suspension lift kit ? i know i will need to beef up the suspension parts with stronger tierod bar, bigger steering stablizer bar, bigger lower and upper control arm and a better sway bar controls.Will that stop the death wobble??.Would you add more metal to the frame?, for more support. i heard a couple of stories of U-Bodies are so weak with so much stress with the front end working so hard.What do you think would I need to replace the front and rear axles? what about the U-driveshaft would i want to replace that also.. Thanks!!! Q for the help Im really getting the run around

    the best way to cure the "wobble"is to fit firmer springs, standard ride height,with adjustable gas struts/dampers.you dont have to do anything else,unless you take it off road a lot...most specialist suspension/ tuning shops can advise on makes/prices to suit your own budget...but you will feel more of the tarmac joins(a lot)

    I'm not going to list this as a "fix" but I'd check the ball joints to make sure they aren't worn. In lifting the body you will bring out any flaws in the suspension and exaggerate them.
    Any suspension parts that are recommended add-ons are not only stronger but are meant to restore the front end geometry so the vehicle is stable. Chances are that if everything you have done is tightened properly and the joints are good, you may have changed the caster angle too far negative. Positive caster prevents wheel flutter and helps keep you going straight. Don't believe it? reverse the front fork on a bicycle and try riding with no hands!
    After you bounce off the street a few times you will understand what I'm saying!

2016 bmw 340 has a metallic "pop" - loud - when backing and wheels are full lock position. Power steering? Thought it was suspension component but all looked good when on lift

Check the tierod ends or the CV axle shafts. The tierod ends can be moved if they are worn. Also check the sway bar end links. If the rubber bushings are hard or worn out, it will make a noise.

The torsion bar suspension on my 99 silverado is bottomed out. I know about adjusting the torsion keys but the driver side was tightened all the way in since new. Do I need to replace bars, keys, or what...

SOUNDS LIKE THE TORSION bars might be getting weak. you can replace the keys with a set used as a leveling kit these will be indexed differently to allow more suspension height.A trick I use is to install a set of ford keys they are identical to the aftermarket set of lifting keys and half the price!!! the part number is XL3Z-5B328-CA this will probably be your best option.

ANY INFO ON HOW TO LIFT 1985 CHEVY C-10 TRUCK WITHOUT USEING A LIFT KIT.MOST SIMPLE WAY AND CHEAPEST

The rear is easy, it can be lifted with blocks placed between the rear axle and the spring. Without the proper wedge shaped spacer the driveshaft angle will be incorrect if you use a block bigger than 2 inches. There is no way I know to lift the front, and keep the suspension geometry proper for tire wear, and driveability. Short answer: get a lift kit designed for your truck, you will avoid alot of headache later.

I have a 2000 jeep cherokee sport with factory rims whats the biggest tire i can use without rubbing thank you for your input todd

the bigger tire you put on up above 235/75/15 will change the handling of your jeep and will wear out the front steering an suspension parts.I've seen what 31/10-50/15 have done to several jeeps.It just takes the life out of a jeep,even by putting the correct tires back on afterwards when they have traded it in where I work,The handling is not there any more.

Suspension?

have the sway bar looked at in the back. if it is loose or broken it will sway. it is the bar connecting the two rear wheels. there are upgrade kits that offer a heavier bar. Also check rear tire pressure. the tires will roll out if too low a pressure is aboard.

Towing help on 2005 GMC Sierra 1500

You really, really want a suspension specialist. Look in the yellow pages. You want a place that not only sells stuff but installs it. The kind of place that puts new springs in trucks, esp bigger trucks. They'll be in a larger city. In addition, you might want to get rid of the lift kit. It is affecting your handling but that's not your real problem, just a thought. Perhaps even, the guy who installed the lift kit moused the rear suspension, otherwise it would not be lower now. I suspect you have even less suspension than the truck came with.

Lift kit for a '95 2wd dodge dakota

I am pretty sure that there is a lift kit available for a 95 dakota. There are a few ways to lift the body of the vehicle. I know a few people who have done it with hockey pucks. Drill holes through the center of the hockey pucks and place them in the body mounts. However, if you want buy a real lift kit, there are several sites that sell lift kits. I recently put a 9" suspension lift on a 1977 F-150. Most companys that make the kits offer more for newer vehicles.
I am not sure if I am allowed to post other websites, however, I did search for a lift for a 95 dakota and found one right away. There are three types of lifts that you can do. One is very limited but you can get the truck taller by putting bigger tires on it. Doing this will give you less clearance between the top of the tire and the fender well. There are also body lifts and suspension lifts. Body lifts are less expensive as there are less components to install. Suspension lifts are much more expensive but it is what I would reccomend for a larger lift. For a couple inches I would go with the body lift. For anything over 2 to 3 inches I would reccomend a suspension lift. If you can find a body lift kit for a 95 dakota 4x4, then you can use it on a 2 wheel drive as well.
