Jeep Cherokee upgrades HELP!
I want to fully upgrade my jeep from interior to the out. I wan front/rear bumpers with a winch plate for future winch and also plan on utting lift on it. What lift could i get that isnt to pricey? I want to put 31" tires on it as well. I also need new rocker panels. Anyone know of anywhere that isnt so expensive? Any suggestions?

if you need new rockers you probably need new floors or at least some patches...
And whatever you do don't buy a block lift! I got my jeep with one already on it and it has been eating away at things like my U-joints and leaf springs, not to mention my soul! From what I hear Add-a-leafs are way stiff too.
I have a 3.5" lift and run 32" tires. Had to do minor trimming to avoid the rub on tight corners while flexing. You could probably do a 3" lift and run 31s pretty nicely. I have yet to have any driveline vibes (other than bad u-joints) at 3.5" and all it has is a 1" transfer case drop.
Have fun! I love messing with mine!
