This. Exactly. Best kit out there short of going long-arm.

I have a rough country 4.5 inch lift kit it has add a leafs and lift blocks in the back up front full springs and shocks the front has bo spacers or anything but its the cheaper AAL lift kit so to even out the front with the back i was going to add the HD Enginnering shackle relocator and either 3.5 inch leaf packs or 3 inch leaf packs amd what m asking is which would fit better with my lift? Because i know most all spring packs ride higher than they say in advertisment. And my shackle relocater will net me some lift also not that im trying to gain i want to compensate for the relocator to net as close to 4.5 inches in the rear as i can

AAL *and* a block? Yeah get that crap outta there before it snaps.

How much lift is really on it right now? If you still have fender flares, measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flare (do front and back) and we'll be able to figure out a combination that works.

I agree get the blocks out, which you're obviously on the path to do. A definitive way to measure would be from frame to the axles tubes.

But if all you have upfront is the 4.5" cool with OEM isolator, my suggestion would be the HD relocators, 3.5" pack, and an extended shackle. I would always suggest people get the higher pack, because it's easy to take a small lead out and play around with height. I think that will give you around 4.5-5" BEFORE settling.

I have a 2000 xj sport 4x4 and I recently bought a pair 3" lift blocks off eBay and also a pair of 3" coil spring spacers from eBay too. I was wondering if there was any other parts I need to get other than the u-bolts. Is 3" going to compromise other parts of my jeep (brake lines, steering arms)? Thanks
Also my jeep is stock... No lift already

SatiricalHen

really really bad idea. Do not use lift blocks on an xj the leaf springs are too weak. Needs new shock, new brake lines if you're going to use it, new track bar, alignment and more.

Why not just save the link to your Sticky?

The sad part is that it is a sticky, but noobs don't have time to actually look, apparently.

I have the original file saved on my laptop and on my phone, but I'm almost always on the mobile app. There's no way to sort by folders on the app, and I don't care to scroll through 1,500+ pictures each time the chart is relevant.

When I was prepping for my lift I took a screenshot of that table and kept it ever since. Even post lift because I knew someone would ask the question again. Not that I'm trying to but it's a cheap way to get your post count up LOL.

NewKindOfClown

Imagine all the times I answered those questions in paragraph form before I finally made the chart

Now if you could only collect royalties on that chart, maybe you could pay for arthritis treatments for your thumbs lol

New to the forum, but not so new to off-roading or modifying vehicles. I was given a stock 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport for free; 4.0L, 5 speed AX-15, NP231. I am set on getting the 3" RC aal lift kit with the longer lower control arms. For tires and wheels I am set on getting 33x12.50r15 Kenda Klever Mud Terrains and Pro-Comp 15" steel wheels. My problem is my parents won't let me get a "huge" lift to fit big tires ("their house, their rules") so I'm stuck with going with a low cog lift and trimming to fit big tires. I need to know about how much bump stopping I will need to do, along with what wheel width, and backspacing I should go with, to avoid rubbing. For trimming, I will be getting bushwacker flat style fender flares and cutting the fenders when I install the flares. I want a wide stance if possible (i.e. 15x10 rims, 3.75 bs, with 12.5 wides) but I can go a little bit narrower if I'd absolutely have to. I will be using it for my DD, along with trail riding, and mudding every weekend. Thanks for the help
