Well I just traded an '89 Camaro that needed some minor things to run and a few other things done to it for my '95 Cherokee Sport. I like it and although it's only 2 wheel drive it's still fun. I've never been real big into Jeeps or known lots about them so now that I'm starting to learn, how common are 2WD Cherokees? I didn't know Jeep even made a 2WD vehicle haha! I thought 4WD was just part of being a Jeep, but there's lots of 2WD conversion questions on here so I was just wondering. I don't plan on converting mine to 4WD by the way.

 

Depends on where in country you live in. Up north, it's much more likely you'll find 4x4s, but down South I'd say at least 1 in 4 or so Cherokees will be 4x2s.

 

I agree with it depends on your location.. I see more 2 wheel drives than 4x4s after all they are station wagons meant for daily commuting. 4 wheel drive is needed more up north than in the south.

 

yeah there are alot of 2wd's here in the south, of course ive got a 4wd!

 

Are there lift kits for a 1997 cherokee 2wd sport? Just bought one for $2500 with new motor has only 4500 miles.Would like to lift it if there is a kit.

 

yes any kit for a ckerokee will fit any year for 4x4 or 2wd

 

What would give me 3 inch lift on a small budget?

 

roughcountry.com check it out

 

Spacers and AAL's, guy on Ebay sells the 3" Budget Kit for around $100 a little over $200 and it'll include shocks

 

with a 3 inch lift and factory rims what is a good size tire ?

 

31x9.50x15.. you might be able to run 31x10.50 but with stock wheels the width may cause rubbing issues with the control arms.

 

think you could post a link to that?
