Could not find info., so am going to ask if some of 'ya-all know by experience, lol, just what degrees it takes for an XJ to roll over?
Have read that the OEM XJ is top heavy, and prone to easy roll overs. True? False? Given 'equal side-slope-terrain', it would seem that only one person, the driver for example, would add weight favoring an easier rollover on that side, rather than a rollover towards the empty passenger side. Adding a spare tire/wheel, etc., on top between the cargo rails would add to the top heavy problem of weight leverage enhancing rollover conditions, etc.
To add to the complexities, the amplification of various lift kit heights would make the rollover situation more pronounced.., at any speed. (!?!)
Perhaps someone has found a handy chart that could address this issue, I had no success. However, being somewhat self-serving, (with no safety-spotters available), I'd like to know about what is thought on just how far over, (in degrees), I can place my XJ on a side slope travel, (at a crawl), before falling over, as noted in (b.).
ROLL OVER DEGREES FOR THE FOLLOWING, please.
a. DD: zero inch lift. Degrees____?
b. 2" lift, with rear sway bar gone, JKS disco in front, 30"x9.50 tires on oem wheels. This is my concern, and I'd like some feed back. Degrees____?
c. 3" lift--?
d. 4" lift--?
Etc.
I would think that there may be a few of us who would like to hear from experienced driver's as to this issue.
Thanks all, for your considerations into this safety matter.:us:
