Hi,
I've just bought a new Limited and it sits quite high..
I wondered if this is because of the 4WD system which is heavier, so the springs might be a little firmer??
The Longitudes I've seen all sit a little lower which I prefer.
I know the Trailhawk is designed to sit higher but the Limited also seems to sit up.
Does anyone know if there are springs available to lower it a little?
Thanks
I agree Kevin but some people don't like them sitting high. I on the other hand am waiting for the first real suspension lift to be released which I will by buying directly.Why would you want to lower a Jeep? Is it a serious issue that it appears to sit high? Have I missed something here? I'm sorry, but I fail to see a problem.
Yeah that is odd that Jeep doesn't advertise that. I hope you still enjoy it.Word from my dealer is that it's because of the 4WD version which sits a little higher than the 2WD version...but that isn't advertised on the internet anywhere...

I just had a look on the Jeep web site and all 4WD versions sit at 7.9" ground clearance as opposed to the FWD versions which have a ground clearance of 6.7"
Question answered...
Interesting, I never noticed that the 2WD were at 6.7". I thought they were the same as the other 7.9"I had never noticed that some appear to sit higher than others.

Exhibit A:
The FWD ground clearance is 6.7"
The 4WD ground clearance is 7.9"
The TH ground clearance is 8.7"

But what is strange is that even with the difference in ground clearance the step over heights/clearance is still reported the same.

What is even more odd is that specs list the overall body width to be smaller in the 4WD models than the FWD models. ????

I bet that alone cuts into MPG numbers, but not by a lot, probably one or two points.Looks to me like some typos there.
One other difference between FWD and 4WD that's related to the ride height: Allpar lists the drag coefficient for the FWD as 0.35, vs. 0.36 for 4wd and 0.37 for the TH.
