I know one member did. We were just discussing street tires on a thread I opened. I am sure he will stop by and discuss with you. ;-)

 

theresa few of us here. I for one am one. Slammed no but am Lowered 1.5-2inches, nothing major but you can tell in the way the Pat sits and handles, I went with H&R Racing Springs from tire-rack. I really like the way it looks. I feel i can stuff 19's or 20's under it now. I'm sitting on 18's as it is.

 

i put h&r's in my jeep.

if you wanna see pics, go to photobucket.com and search jeep_bastard

 

whoa, what happened to your face?

 

Maybe he's an undercover cop and can't have his pix around there like that!

 

Maybe CIA

 

nah, I was the guy taking the picture. that was just some random person that got in the way of my pic.

 

Hope you don't mind Jeep Bastard (but I hate when random dudes get in my nice shots)

so I took care of him for ya - probably could wipe out some of that grass that got in the way of the front bumper too...

 

NOW your Jeep look's nice! Good work Argent... Now I know who to go to when I want to erase Mrs. Kah out of my pix!

 

Nice look, what did you do about shocks/struts? Running the stock ones or did you replace them with lowered ones?

 

I have been looking to do aftermarket wheels also, thought 20's would be the way to go but I think, for me anyway, after looking at yours that the 18's look big enough. What size tire do you have on those? Is it the same diameter as the stocks so as not to mess with the speedo?

 

i have 18's on mine and the h&r springs as well. my 18s are the same size as the stockers

 

i thought you were asking if anyone slammed it...like tire tuck or bodydrop...

 

just in photoshop:

 

now thats baddazz....

 

yes, superduper, the original question was if anybody had slammed one, but the conversation expanded to just lowering as well. no one has stepped forward with a truly slammed one....at least not yet....well, with the exception of the photoshopped one above....looks pretty cool though...wish I could get ahold of one of those front bumper covers too.

 

Photochopped!

:notworthy:

 

i think it looks badass slammed!!! but does anyone know if there is air bag or air struts suspension for the patriot.....

 

not that im aware of. but i know a guy that could get custom bags. and test fit.

 

Where's Creation???

 

We need a batman logo light but with creation instead anytime someone asks for slammed questions

I sincerely hope no one lowered a 4X4 vehicle. Just saying...

 

Agreed!

 

Big willis' is 4x4 and he's slammed.

yep, mine is a 4x4, and its slammed.
It wont go much lower than this, unless you have smaller rim & tyre combination which would give you more fender gap or you would need to tub it, which would be a large job.
I was going to bag it, but i just bought a house and the money i had for the bags furnished the whole house with all new furniture.

 

And they don't sell air bags or air struts, but that won't stop me from trying! Muahahaha.

Anyways, the caliber srt4 coilovers fit and that's about the only way to slam it. They don't even sell bag kits for the Caliber.

Heres with 19"s on 225/40/19, maxed out on the coilovers.

 

Gee, and I had a really nice Vette with a 4 speed. Of course back then 4 was the most anyone had, except for the big rigs.

 

Even being lowered the 4wd will benefit in bad weather and the sand he is in. While there are several members that take their patriots off-road it's hardly an off-road vehicle.

 

I suppose I can go with that. I guess lowering it makes it kind of like an AWD station wagon or subaru. While, I do disagree with it not being a capable off road vehicle. I've been hunting in the slop my entire life, and i've owned nothing but trucks, 2 and 4 wheel drive. My little Patriot is better in mud than ANY of my trucks ever wished they would be. All I did was swap out the tires. Will it go through 2 feet of mud? Of course not, as it's limited by it's ground clearance. But apples to apples, stock vehicle to stock vehicle, it will run circles around a big heavy pick up. They are light, they have good power to weight ratio, and with good tires, they will most certainly perform exceptionally well in the more common off road scenarios.
