One word...
PORTALS
That is all. LOL
Although not perhaps the most costly approach, it would be an awesome solution. Combine portals with some fender trimming and it would transform this vehicle. Not to mention the lower gear ratios AND massive increase in ground clearance inherent with the portals!
Just my opinion.

Its not that its not feasible to lift, it will just cost more due to having to design a new cradle and CA's just like with some of the full-size truck lifts.

Front-end features are enhanced by two prototype Flame Red inserts on the traditional Jeep seven-slot grille, as well as through a prototype lower fascia trim. Cherokee Dakar is fortified for off-road action, equipped with Jeep Performance Parts rock rails, an oil pan skid plate, front suspension skid plate, two-piece fuel tank and underbody skid plates.
Cherokee Dakar's wheel openings have been modified in order to accommodate larger 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. The rough-and-ready look rises with a prototype Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, and additional suspension modifications help make it the most extreme Cherokee yet. Prototype wider fender flares with riveted bolts give a tougher appearance and also accommodate the wider track and larger tires. A prototype rear fascia allows for an even more aggressive departure angle and enhances the higher ride height. Cherokee Dakar's crawl ratio is 48:1, and estimated approach and departure angles are 32 and 39 degrees, respectively.

Interesting. I'm impressed to see 33s under that thing.
What's up with the random color highlights? This isn't a Ken Block vehicle.

Agreed 100%. The red highlights look so off. I don't understand the two random grille slots or two spoke areas of the rim. Just makes it look like someone half-azzed it, LOL....maybe it would look better with a different color combo? That red on the gunmetal/greyish color just looks harsh...
