Hi! I am looking into to giving me Jeep Renegade a small lift, about an inch using spacers. With that lift I want to run slightly bigger tires and I will probably need spacers to clear the strut. I was just curious on how this will affect my CV joints specifically. Would this make it more prone to breaking?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Only going up that much and one size is not going to have that much affect on anything. Some of course but not that much. You may see a small amount of power loss and gas mileage but again not a lot
I've been building up 02-07 Libertys with IFS front suspensions for over 12 years now.
Have one of mine at over 4 inches of lift and 32 inch tall tires, left side CV lasted over 190,000 lifted miles before it went bad just as an example
Wheel bearing were replaced once in 221,000 miles 201,000 of those lifted
Done a lot of lifts on these and all same results
I know the one you have has IFS all around BUT I'd guess results would be about the same
