Jimmy Ride Quality
Now that I'm driving the Jimmy more, I'm noticing a few things about the ride.
It's not too bad, but it does seem to "bounce" quite a bit on the ride. I know it's short wheel base tends to cause some of that, but the front end especially seems quite bouncy. I re-arched the front springs, added about 2.5" lift to it, and went with Bilstein shocks. I just added Air Lift ride control helper bags to the rear, and they really seemed to help the stabilization in the rear. Have any of you guy's done anything to stiffen up the front end, or is this just the normal way they ride. Maybe a sway bar? Other than that, it drives very well. Also, my '72 4WD Stepper (shortbox), seems to ride much more stable, and it's got 108k original miles on it. Pat |
