I'm looking to put 31/10.50/15 tires on my 85 Cherokee and was wondering how much of a lift kit do I need to make tires clear. Also what is the best lift kit to purchase for the money?

With 31" tires the Rough Country 3" stage 2 with full leafs. No question. Best lift for the buck. $350 for add a leaf or $600 for the full leafs.

sorry i had to fix your post it was going to drive me crazy. what ever lift you do go with the full leaf pacs the add a leafs will sag pretty quick and the stock xj springs are normally pretty flat and worn by the time you lift the jeep.
