Well, I'm ignorant to the Jeep community. I had an Ion Redline before this, so the idea of 4x4 is entirely new to me.

When I said that, I meant that I wasn't sure if having the trail rated package on my car made the suspension different in that the RRO kit might change around the dynamics of what's already on there in a different way than it would the standard suspension.

Like I said, I've lowered cars before, when I was a teenager, but never raised them. I'm here to learn. haha

the ride isn't really effected. the only thing out be is your changing the center of gravity so might notice a little body roll but nothing you need training wheels for haha.

so to sum it up the lift doesn't effect the ride but may cause body roll (nothing i notice)
and the only thing that will effect anything is the tires you put on.

Ive have mine for about 3000 k and love it. i would never take it off. just waiting for new tires

 

[tbsoundarts]

so no your stock suspension isn't effected

what size wheels and tires are you using with the lift kit tbs? And what do the spacers do exactly? I'm also pretty new, but I love the way the compass looks lifted and I'm very interested in doing it to mine lol

you can find some of them on ebay, but some like myself just did a plasti dip job. others just remove them and paint them.

Well williams83, your trail rated Compass is already 1" higher than standard, so adding thee RRO kit will make it 3" lift, which is exactly what the True North version has, so if it works for Mopar you should be ok

Great, but why the trail rated compass 1" higher than standard?

different tire size? or different suspension?

on trail rated 215/65/R17 while standard is 215/60/R17 that 65 makes it that one inch larger

Thanks for clearing it up, I couldn't find an off-road tire by this size 215/65/R17 do you have any suggestions for sand use?
