Default 10" lift?

Has anyone heard of a 10inch lift for a cherokee?

If so which brands make them?


someone on CL said they want someone to take their 10"lift off their jeep and replace it with my stock and then pay them 200$.

I'm thinking about doing it but just wondering if it's a good idea.

tallest i've heard of is rustys 8" kit.....but with spacers/shackles/blocks you could make a 10" lift.....i wouldnt do it tho, that is way too high! i would never run more than a 6.5" kit on any of mine, but its up to you....

its probly a ghetto rigged **** box tho, check it out thoroughly before getting it

Yea, I doubt I'll do it.

Just realized how long that would take...

But if he took it off for 200$ that would be nice. I asked him for brand and pictures.

there is really no good way to get that much lift short of making a full subframe.

Yes well there are no good trails where I live. Well that I know of.

I like hills and such to climb, but we hardly have them, just the bridge hills underneath.



So all I do is mud, And I'm getting sick of doing that, Everytime I go I just break something new.
Just last week I ruined my bumper and roof rack...

So I won't be doing anything untill I have the money.
