i have a 6.5 in lift on my cherokee now with some springs and spacers in the front and shackles in the rear, whats the cheapest way to get like another 3-5inches of lift? can anyone help me out on where that best place to order the parts i need to do more of a lift? anyone have a pics of there jeep with something more than a 6.5in lift? thanks.

this is how mine sits now

 

first why do you want/need more lift?

 

i want to run bigger than 36in tires and it rubs alot in the rear still and i cant cut any more out

 

spacers and shackels will work, but then you will need longer shocks, brake lines, and your steering set up, you will need a high steer if you dont already have one, maybe longer control arms....lots of stuff changes when you go that high

 

i have stainless brake lines and high steer, do i just need bigger shackels in the rear and bigger spaces in the front, for buy bigger springs for the front and leaf springs in the rear? im not too sure what i should get

 

Y do you need anything taller than a 36?


You don't need anymore lift to fit them. I could fit 37s if I wanted to and I'm at 6.5". Cut more, lift less.

I would either skip the idea on bigger tires or cut more. Lifting higher isn't always the best choice.

What axles you running? Lockers?

 

first off, i see a dana30. that should go before you start thinking about bigger tires

second, what size tires are you thinkin?

 

i pray to God that thats not D35 in the rear...

 

I'd like to know that too...It would be interesting to see how the dana 30/35 hold up under 36's...I've never heard of anyone doing it...everyone just replaces them it seems.

 

they dont lol

the dana30 can hold up if you are smart about it and its fairly built. expect to go through wheel bearings often

the dana35 has no hope, breaking it is inevtiable

 

yep im gald i have the 8.25, the biggest im gonna go on that is 35's, and i will probly beef if up a tad too

 

i first off its not a dana 30 or 35 its a 44

 

As KTM already wisely noted.

1st rule of bigger tires. Address axle weakness.
2nd rule of bigger tires, first learn rule number one

As for rear clearance, a better solution to going higher is either hacking your quarter panels or properly sized bump stops.

dont you have a D30 front axle? or did you throw a 44 in the front? well thats good that you have a D44 rear

 

Even a 44 is is questionable unless you're either a gifted driver and/or staying one fairly easy terrain.

Although if you're determined to go bigger, I'd recommend hacking the quarter panels.
