My parents just gave me a 1992 Jeep Cherokee as a graduation gift. I was wondering what is the proper way to lift it? I want to do 3.5 inches but I don't really know is that even worth the money or should I go bigger? any help is appreciated I am a newbie with jeeps.

depends on what you want to do with ur XJ... crawling, occasional off-roading, etc. Is it your daily driver? What kind of budget are you looking at?

yea if you like the 3.5 inch kit and not gonna be doing any serious wheeling there nice....just search around find a kit you like but get a full leaf pack not the AAL they sag very quickly

Yeah I plan on doing some light off-roading in some small trails we have no rock crawling or anything. I am looking at this lift kit

let me know what you think. I will have to buy some new tires once I lift it because I only have the stock tires.

well they only thing i dont like about that kit is the rear lift blocks...id either go with shackles or new leafs blocks can cause axle wrap look at some of the rough country lifts they have some decent kits for the money

here is what mine looks like with a rancho 3" kit and 31's, the street pic is the day i bought it and the dirt pic is about a week later

I was really displeased with this kit, it was very harsh. Following people with better quality suspensions was terrible. Their jeep would ride smooth as silk on the washboards and I would feel like I was tearing this thing apart. In my opinion just throwing on the cheapest lift you can find will lead to regret.




sounds like you are young, I was too once. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to stop wasting money on the car I had and focus on school so I could afford REALLY good stuff when I was done instead of reworking all the stuff I bought because it was cheap.
