Stability: narrow vs wide track

[Lewis1984]

Hello everyone. I plan on buying a CJ-7 later this year to be my daily driver and have a question about the difference in stability between the narrow and wide track versions. Can anyone tell me how much of a difference there is between the two when driving? Thank you.

My first jeep was 73 CJ5 drove it daily never thought about stability. It was common sense short narrow probably not going to handle like a corvette

I drove a '79 CJ5 daily for over 7 years, and I only became concerned about stability after changing from stiff bias-ply tires to mooshy radial tires.

In my opinion, stock CJ-7 to stock CJ-7, there is little to no difference at all. Hell, I drove a CJ-7 with 4" of lift, 35's and on narrow tracks and never gave stability a second though but if anything, the taller you go is where you might feel a difference between the two. But hey, what would I know.

You know a lot more than me haha. I appreciate the input!
