It's Official -Wife hates her new Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Thanks for the info mate, looks like I have standard 1/2" arb on the rear. Once I get Christmas out the way I'm going to replace the rear trailing arms as they need to be done! Once I've done them I think I'll look into getting the 9/16 arb :thumb2

Personally i dont think she will ever like the jeep and you will be wasting money on upgrades.. my wife did the same with a v6 long wheel base suzuki vitara some years back... we just sold it and moved on..

Playing advocate of the devil here, but you can also change the wife instead of the car

A Suzuki is not quite in the same league as a jeep
Although I'm not knocking a Suzuki :thumb2

Standard rear ARB

Is yours a WJ series ?
The later ones were fitted with the 7/8" but I believe the earlier production runs had 1/2" ones.
If yours is the 1/2" one you might find a standard 7/8" one stiff enough. Either way I would put some heavy duty adjustable rear shock absorbers on at the same time if funds will allow. That way you can tinker with the ride.

I seriously considered reverting back to a standard rear ARB but we have got used to the ride over the last 23 months of ownership.

Yeah its a WJ 4.0 6 cylinder :sly
The motor is on gas so its not too harsh on the wallet! Gas at the moment is pretty cheap at 49p a litre :thumb2
Not looked into the shockers yet but I like the sound of adjustable ones! I'm sure my Arb is 1/2"

I've been offered a 1998 4.0 grand Cherokee.
LPG kit on it,2" lift and almost new mud tyres.
Guy wants a grand or nearest offer.
Runs fine on gas but a bit lumpy on petrol.
If crimbo wasn't just around the corner I would be very tempted.

That's a bargain at that money!

Sounds great but as we use the Shuttle it's a none starter as they do not allow gas powered vehicles. I almost bought a Nissan Murrano with a LPG conversion until I realised this.

Koni do a Heavy Track unit http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o....TRS0&_nkw=koni+jeep+shock+absorbers&_sacat=0

Where do you get gas at that price, last I looked it was 70 here, Rick

Local Texaco garage, first time I filled up it was 0.46p a litre! Guessing it might drop again after Christmas!
