I'm looking to lift my 14 citadel also and add some 33s
Please post some pics of your's when it's done I would love to see how the lift would look

 

32.1 inch OD is as big as you can go with the lift, still 2 inches bigger tho. 33's are possibly if their not too wide and with a zero or negative rim offset, and you'll have to trim felt.

 

Hey TheKoning,
I'm interested in doing something similar to my Durango, basically want to improve ground clearance and approach angle.

Which of the options did you purchase? (i'm wondering which are required to get a 2.5 inch lift so I can fit 32 inch tires)

a) WK2, Jeep lift kits - 2.5"
b) WK2 Deluxe Lift Kit - 2.5"
c) 2.5" Lift kit and control arms
d) Wheel spacers
e) Optional Front Upper Control Arms

Also, can you please shed some light on installation costs. I've never made a mod like this to a vehicle so I'm trying to be extra cautious.

 

Been thinking of doing this to my 14 Citadel. Really interested in seeing some pics!

 

Hi Chris.
Its been a crazy ride getting this lift setup installed(for my shop anyway). I still have yet to get my Durango back because of some minor complications with the lift compoments and my citadel and my shops hick mechanics . Other guy's on the grand Cherokee forums say the lift takes ~5 hours to install which comes to ~400 of labour I'll let you know tomorrow or Thursday what I paid .I purchased the WK2(aka. Grand Cherokee) deluxe lift kit, which is the 2.5 inch lift and upper control arms. The reason I purchased the optional upper control arms is becuase the stock arms with this lift would need to be replaced regardless when they wore out. The stock arms work with the lift but not designed for it. I recommend the optional uppers control arms for sure as it also allows for more tire and rim, apparently my ordered 275/65/r18 tires on a rim with 0 offset wouldn't have fit with stock arms. The biggest you can go is 32.1inch without triming felt from wheel well. My shop seemed to be a bit unprofessional in the sense that they didn't seem confident in what they were doing. but I assure you the lift fits just fine as they finished almost all of it this evening and it will work excellently with suspension as it is a spacer style lift, you will not be able to physicaly tell its there. I'll report back with minor challenges my shop had to over come to make this lift happen so you can inform your shop. The lift made by rocky road is a family owned company so it takes 3-5 weeks to get here. Get that thing ordered

Can't wait to see some pics!

 

Koning,
Thank you so much for the detailed response, your truck will no doubt look awesome please upload pics and keep us posted on all the nuances.

 

Went to the shop to see the car so far lift on! but their still working on finishing my led light bar and other things.

Just some cell pics.
Tire: BFG KO2 are 275/65/r18 (a tire with this size needs trimming of the liner unfortunately)
rims: 7033 pro comp rims in size 18x9 offset=zerooooh
This thing feels so much higher now



ill get some proper Before/after pics

 

Lift looks great. Truck needs to be all black, plastidip the chrome!

 

seems like a bit of a waste buying a citadel and blacking out all the chrome
