Jeep Suspension Geometry Explained

PAOLI, Pa. (Dec 19, 2018) – ExtremeTerrain’s Ryan Huck has produced the video, “How Jeep Suspension Works | Jeep Suspension Geometry Explained”, as an informational tool for the 4x4 community focusing on modified Wranglers. A variety of Jeep lift kits are available for the Wrangler so understanding the components that can improve suspension geometry, handling, and ride quality will, inevitably, make for a well-informed off-roader.

Sahara JKU Gets a 3" Teraflex Lift and 35’s Installed

PAOLI, Pa. (Nov26, 2018) – Lift kits, along with an upsized wheel and tire configuration, are the bread and butter of the Wrangler World. With that, Ryan Huck from ExtremeTerrain recently got his hands on a 2013 JKU Sahara for a simple build, including a 3” Teraflex Lift and 35” Wheel and Tire setup, to demonstrate the flexibility of the JK platform.

I love the look and performance you get from running 35’s on a JK but you’ll need a few other modifications to make everything work properly.

While you can never entirely rule out the chance of an emergency while traveling on the road, you can certainly be an alert, cautious driver and do what you can to avoid such situations. The same is true when you are towing a trailer. However, a towing emergency can be the result of a number of factors, so you must know what can contribute to a towing emergency, as well as how to handle the situation if it arises so that you can be safe and keep your passengers and others on the road safe, too.
