Default Cheap lift kits...

Hi there I was just wondering if anyone happened to know of a company that makes 5 or 6 inch lift kits for a 98 XJ Cherokee for under the $600 dollars. I doubt there is but i figured id ask. Thanks for your time.
Oh also I was wondering what the axle gear ratio would be in a 98 cherokee automatic trans with a tow package. I know i can look but its dirty, and not lifted yet so its a pain in the *** to get underneath! Lol Thanks again for your time!

You can't do everything needed to lift a Cherokee 6 inches for that amount of money, unless maybe you happen on some used equipment. You'll need to modify the rear driveshaft and get lower control arms...

Lol i was just hoping i didnt think it was possible... I just wasn't sure if a 4 or 4.5 inch lift would be big enough for me to fit 33'' tires without rubbing...

They would still rub even with a little trimming......but it should only be when they are totally stuffed.......I ran 33's for a while on my one with a 4.5

Still... if you are starting with a 600 buck budget, you are off to a good start.
