I made a hard left turn yesterday, while accelerating from a stop yesterday, and my Jeep turned into a gangster impalla: lifting the front left tire off the ground, Ive never had so much fun. Im sure its dangorous, but why is this happening? Its kinda like a doing a wheelie on a motorcycle and I can hold it up for a while on a long left turn. I only have stock gears, so when I regear my jeep it might be hard to avoid, What do ya think?
 

It's called 'tirejacking' and it's common on short wheelbase coil spring :roll: jeeps :lol: It happens when short lower control arms are used with a large (4" and up) lift. The control arms are too near vertical, and become even more verical when turning and accelerating. The axle has no more droop and pulls a tire.

It's all fun and games on road, but you're coil spring jeep will quickly play turtle if it does it at the wrong moment offroad.
 

the only way to really solve this problem is to get a supercharger and some steering brakes :wink:
