Welcome to the jeepExperts.com in-depth web page of WJ Generation Jeep Grand Cherokee up nation suspension. Did we mis something? Please get in contact with us and inform us about it!
The Up Country Suspension Group decal, proven above left, was used on Jeeps previous to 1999 (ZJ collection). No WJ fashions have ever had a manufacturing unit sticker or badge figuring out this function. The decal, which measures 3-9/16″ x 2-11/16″, is not out there from Jeep (discontinued in fall 2006, half # 5DL32MXW, the unique MSRP was $83.75).
From the launch of the 1999 fashions and up till September 2, 2003, the Up Country Suspension Group package deal has been an out there possibility on all WJ fashions, besides (for advertising causes) 2002-2004 Limited’s with the HO engine. Utilizing upgraded shocks, springs and tires, the UC package deal claims to offer about 1″ of further raise, with a barely firmer and steadier journey. However, there appears to be a wide range of completely different springs which have been used for this selection, with some house owners claiming solely 5/8″ of raise whereas others have acknowledged increased. The “physique roll” issue appears to be worse on most fashions with this selection (a shortcoming which may be simply solved with an upgraded rear sway bar ).
Overland fashions with and with out Up Country Suspension
Starting on the finish of mannequin 12 months 2002 manufacturing, Jeep launched a “delete” possibility for the Up Country Suspension, which up till that point had been commonplace on all Overland fashions. The “delete” possibility, nonetheless, simply takes away the Up Country shocks and is derived and never the skid plates, tow hooks or upgraded tires. The motive for this modification is that supposedly analysis confirmed some clients most well-liked the journey of the “softer” commonplace suspension, though it has by no means been promoted that approach.
An issue that got here up with the “delete” possibility is that the Up Country package deal ordering code (“SDA”) was complicated. It was supplied as a “$0.00” no value possibility, so when ordering a brand new automobile, many sellers and clients had mistakenly checked the field for this, as it’s outlined solely as “QuadraCoil Suspension”. Since it was “free”, clients and sellers assumed “why not put it on the order”. Since QuadraCoil Suspension is commonplace on all fashions of Grand Cherokeee anyway, by checking the field you had been in impact deleting the Up Country Suspension and “bringing it again” to the usual suspension stage. There was no point out of the U/C possibility being “deleted” on the sticker, nor was a credit score given for taking the function away. Any Overland fashions which have the “SDA/ QuadraCoil” possibility listed on the sticker do NOT have the Up Country Suspension parts.
Up Country package deal discontinued for all fashions as of August 31, 2003
All fashions constructed after August 2003 had been not supplied with the Up Country package deal, the particular shocks and is derived had been discontinued. Skid plates and tow hooks, previously included with the Up Country package deal and in addition out there individually, turned commonplace on the Overland and elective on all different fashions.
Adding the Up Country parts to non U/C autos:
WJ house owners having the usual suspension (Quadra-coil) can add half or the entire UC package deal parts to their autos. Although, like including some other elements or choices after the very fact, it’s way more costly. All that’s actually wanted are the springs and shocks (plus the skid plates and/or tow hooks if desired). The finish consequence will most likely be round 1/2″ of elevated raise.
