Best 3" lift
Just picked up an '01 Cherokee Limited with Selec Track and this is my first post on the forum. The first thing I want to do is give it a lift. What's my best option for a 2-3" lift, and how much should I expect to pay for parts, and labor?
Any advice, or recommendations would be helpful. I did a search and found threads about lifts, but not much about which is better.
Thanks

The Rough Country 3" kit is complete and reasonably priced. It rides well, flexes pretty well and will run you around $300 + labor. I'm not sure what labor would be because I do everything myself.

its really just a personal preference. from what i hear/read old man emu is one of the best ride quality on and offroad. its a little more pricey then lets say rough country, but supposed to be a really good kit. i chose rc because of the price. very impressed other than the shocks. as far as labor cost for install, just do it yourself. simple just time consuming. just follow the directions and buy lots of pb blaster.

Thanks for all the advice, I guess I'll give it a shot.
So if I go ARB, do they make a 3"? All I can fine is a two inch lift.
If I go with the 2" would you recommend heavy, or medium duty?
