well even though some people on here think that a cherokee with a 12 in lift and 38 to 42's is dumb,but its my jeep,i was just asking if anyone had the same setup,but good comments and negative dont bother me i started out with a 5.5 lift and 33's and i wanted to see what i could do.i know i might get some grief for this but this is a 2wd cherokee,with a 12 inch short arm lift that rides very well.

yeah go buy an older blazer, you can lift those for way cheaper and throw some 40's under it. plus its quite a bit easier to put dana 60's under a fullsize. and fullsize axles on an XJ look silly

lol just put a rock well under the rear end that way you dont need to worry what size tire you running, just make shear the rim fits.
i think its funny a 2wd setting that high. then again every one has there thing. me its 3in with 30in tire, and a nice v6 pushing about 400hp, if i can make it over it then o well im not going to go that way.

wow, there is no need for this amount of lift WHAT SO EVER!!! i mean to each his own, i could care less if you lifted it 4 feet, but i think its dangerous and unnecessary. low cog, big tires, big axles, armor, recovery. not in that order but usually it goes with what your wheeling needs are...

I say veryone is different and likes different stuff so do it and lets see some pics of now and after.
