Can anybody help me... I'm looking for a three foot lift for my 98' xj sport I am an offroad vetern but haven't gone over a foot in lifting. I'm looking into going serious rock crawling I have a 4 1/2 inch lift in my xj now but can't find anything bigger than six inches. I'm also looking for all the extras I will need. Like a new transfer case, drive shaft, and axels, etc. need help. Thank u to anyone who can help

Gee oh Dee

You'll need some serious custom work done, and someone here is selling 8" springs, which may help you some.

Gee oh Dee

Not to mention you really don't need 3 feet of lift for serious rock crawling.

3ft ?
that seams a bit much. im not a guru in this area, but wouldnt make it a wee bit top heavy?
but if your serious about it, you might google it. i would think its gonna be a variety of different kits to make it work, and is gonna require alot of research on your end.

good luck

Assuming you're serious, (and I'm not sure about that.) Would a 36" lift even be remotely possible without extending the wheel base about 6'? Somebody in the Off Topic forum posted some pics of an f350 that was lifted 21" and it was taller than the dude's house.

You can probably clear 36" tires with an 8" lift and trimming.

What would be point of a lift that big be assuming that it isn't a typo. And you say you want to "rock crawl"? Have you even looked at successful crawling rigs? They're low with huge tires and massive flex.

How big would you suggest I've seen wranglers with full coilover 3 ft lifts and I figured why can't my Cherokee do that. I know it's a bit of custom work but I'm looking for links, parts, and other misc. Adviceon where to go to get some done I live in new york

3ft lift?? wow that 36" of lift..Are you sure you aren't talking 3" of lift as in inches? I mean 36" of lift is beyiond just cutom work you will basically have to build everything from scratch and you won't have 36" of suspensiont travel. Your rig would be nothing more then street queen to show off fab skills and would never be practical for any heavy offroad other then mud and street driving would be pretty pointless..

I'd like to see that wrangler that has full 3ft coil over suspension..

a foot of lift is way more than necessary for any cherokee.....not many show lift trucks even have nearly 3ft of lift......for a serious rockcrawler you want to keep it as low as possible with as big of tires as possible

Here's a hummer with 3ft of lift...This will get you some idea of what all is involved but I hope you have access to a heavy machine shop or a fat bank account..

Gee oh Dee

All you'd have to do is come up with drive shafts.

Here's a video of the frame twister. If you can crawl this, you've build a decent rig.

Low, huge tires, big flex.

OK, This is a 21 inch lift and he is running 54 inch Boggers. I hope this gets you to understand that you do not want a 36 inch lift for Rock Crawling.
