Jeep is Lifted
alright got the front done after a trip to the "good bolt" store lol
ended up sitting right at 6" over where I was
wasnt too bad after getting the stock lowers cut off
Over all not the worst job I have ever done. still have to adjust the track bar, sitting about a 1/2 off center. Bleed the brakes again rerout the lines and half *** the alignment

Need to align the front end and get the tracking back right before I try to drive it again
I am not sure if I can just shim the rear end or if a SYE is a MUST right now

UPDATE
alright got the front end Toe set up pretty good. Got the tracking within about 1/16th or so
then I drove her around a few times and adjusted the drag link 2-3 times to get the wheel straight and its GTG
I have vibes from 25-30mph then they go away
So I think I will bust out the angle finder and just shim the driveline for now and get a SYE later on

You'd probably need new rims too depending on how wide you'd wanna go with the 33's. it all adds up, but the bigger you go, the better it looks!

Hey just getting into my first Cherokee and was wondering if you could give the link to the exact Lift kit you got. I like the ride height and the look of yours and am planning on the same for my 89'
Thanks,

More than likely I am just gonna go 31s for now due to cost,
looking at the Wall-mart Goodyear Authority or the Kenda Klever M/Ts
