Yeah. That would be fine.

Anytime you have a question, just jump in anywhere and ask.

newbiee · 07-21-2009, 06:59 PM

about the body lift???

xjbones · 07-21-2009, 07:30 PM

yup...cant body lift a cherokee as they have no frame...its a unibody

newbiee · 07-22-2009, 10:47 PM

LOL. well i guess this weekend is going into some major fender trimming .

xjbones · 07-22-2009, 10:51 PM

i can tell you now they wont fit!!!!!!!!!! maybe 31's with no lift and mad trimming, but never 34's.

did you say you wanted them custom sipped?

newbiee · 07-22-2009, 10:53 PM

sipped?

newbiee · 07-22-2009, 10:56 PM

and that's really *** i waas going to trim the fenders as far as i could.. and i just sold my 31's for my 34's...

xjbones · 07-22-2009, 11:07 PM

technically it would groove your tires...

sorry to burst your bubble bro. cherokees flex like crazy and your freshly cut fenders will cut right into those 34's and destroy your fenders!!!!

just be patient and save up for a lift.....there are some decent ones out there for cheap

Body lift = Wrangler

and no way in hell your gonna stuff 34s under stock suspension

Hi newbiee not sure if you were trying to start a new thread, but I don't think a body lift and swompers will work for you. Save your money and do it right. Welcome!

What you did by jumping into that thread with your question is known as thread hi-jacking. In the future, start your own threads, that way you get the traffic, and you wont tick off the OP of the original thread. I moved your thread to the tech section, so you could get your question readily answered. As you have already heard, 34s are not going to work on a stock XJ, sorry!!

BamaXJ · 07-23-2009, 08:47 AM

I've heard of people stuffing 33s on a stock suspension with major trimming, but I don't know about 34s.

Maybe try to trade those 34s for some 33s or even 32s. I also don't think it'd be a good idea for to be on such a big tire and possibly lfited after you just recently got your license. A lifted cherokee handles a lot differently than a stock one, which can be dangerous. You should keep the 34s in your garage, keep driving your cherokee until you become a better driver (for your's and the drivers around you safety) and can save some cash to buy the proper lift kit.

Just my $0.02. Welcome to the forum, post up some pictures of your rig.
