I have no clue, the person before me got the tires and i wasnt given any information on any of it. I will also get pictures when i can, currently cannot.As for taking a while to speed up, could be it was never re-geared when the bigger tires were installed... Do you know what gear ratio it has?
Step 1: Never and I mean never, even in the most dire of circumstances refer to your Jeep as a car. If you do it will summon the wrath of the Jeep gods and you will be destined to walk the earth endlessly searching for the root cause of driveline vibes and death wobble.Its my first car, its in good shape, Ive had to replace some things, its run alittle better since. It just takes some time to speed up and likes to shift pretty hard sometimes. Any pointers to improve my car? Also I have the "Death Wobble" would like to fix it.
K well sorry for referring my vehicle as a car, yes its a jeep but i called it a car, i call anything cars, trucks, whatever, their all vehicles.Step 1: Never and I mean never, even in the most dire of circumstances refer to your Jeep as a car.
About when i get around 50 it starts to shake really bad, so im not sure if its a true death wobble but it does tend to shake pretty bad around there so i avoid freeways unless i have to because i feel like something is gonna break.Is it truly Death Wobble, where it shakes so bad the steering wheel wants to jerk out of your hands and only stops when you’ve come to a complete stop, or do you have a pronounced shake at a certain speed that disappears if you drop below that speed?
Alright, i will have to find a jack that will lift it up, im yet to get one, odd but as soon as i get one ill checkHelpful tip to find gear ratio is to jack up the rear end and see how many times the driveshaft moves per tire rotation. So if the driveshaft turns a tad over 3 times per tire rotation, it would be 3.07 gears, close to four turns on driveshaft per tire rotation would be 3.73, etc
Do you basically have to come to a stop to clear it up or does it smooth out when you slow down a bit? Typically you'll know if it's death wobble...

Read the linked posts @Chris sent above. Shaking at that speed can be caused by something as simple as poorly balanced tires or being out of alignment. Death Wobble will leave you thinking you bought a Jeep possessed by Satan before you can wrestle it to a stop. The good news is that what you have going on is usually easily curable. Educate yourself as to what steps you need to take to diagnose the issue. Don’t make the mistake of just throwing money at it in hopes it will go away. There’s a lot of hard earned knowledge in those threads.About when i get around 50 it starts to shake really bad, so im not sure if its a true death wobble but it does tend to shake pretty bad around there so i avoid freeways unless i have to because i feel like something is gonna break.

It does tend to stop when i slow back down from 50 or around there, ill definitely check out the links Chris posted.Do you basically have to come to a stop to clear it up or does it smooth out when you slow down a bit? Typically you'll know if it's death wobble... Check out this links Chris posted
Surely you have a phone. Go take some pics already. You are missing out on these guys knowledge of Jeeps. Probably an easy fix on those vibes your having.Its my first car, its in good shape, Ive had to replace some things, its run alittle better since.
