I made a hard left turn yesterday, while accelerating from a stop yesterday, and my Jeep turned into a gangster impalla: lifting the front left tire off the ground, Ive never had so much fun. Im sure its dangorous, but why is this happening? Its kinda like a doing a wheelie on a motorcycle and I can hold it up for a while on a long left turn. I only have stock gears, so when I regear my jeep it might be hard to avoid, What do ya think?

3 wheel Motion around Left Hand Turns, Wooooohooo!!!!!
It's called 'tirejacking' and it's common on short wheelbase coil spring  jeeps  It happens when short lower control arms are used with a large (4" and up) lift. The control arms are too near vertical, and become even more verical when turning and accelerating. The axle has no more droop and pulls a tire.
It's all fun and games on road, but you're coil spring jeep will quickly play turtle if it does it at the wrong moment offroad. |

the only way to really solve this problem is to get a supercharger and some steering brakes :wink:
