Default Lift Advice Needed!

Hey guys. New to the forum and new to the cherokees. I had an 08 jeep wrangler lifted but i had to sell it.

Now im in the market for a 89 -93 jeep cherokee four door.

I will be using this jeep for off road use and for some around town driving.
I was looking at the full traction 6 inch long arm kit for the cherokee and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with it or likes it.

Also if i go with this setup what else will I need.......Driveshafts, new steering,???????????????

The goal is to ultimately run 37's or 35's. Def. pushing towards 37's.

Thanks guys.

youll be needing to run a large lift to run 37s, and alot of other things to run a large lift like all the things u mentioned along with axle swap to push 37s just throw out the rearsway bar i dont run with one and alot dont either, ull deff need a sye aswell

Exclamation I'm also NEW and need some INFO

So I finally finished rebuilding the engine, and transmission, so I got the power to run the lift kit and bigger tires not too big just some 32's. Now all I need is the Right Lift kit for my 89XJ, THE ? does anyone know what is the most complete lift kit to installed. Also something within a 1500 budget with tires and wheels.this will also be my Daily Driver besides my trail ride, I would really appreciate the response and help. THANKS

i have a 96 with 6.5" long arm and 35s... i would recomend going a bigger lift for 37s... since i have the same goal and am going with a larger lift.. i run no swaybar at all. youll need an sye, shim the rear, if you goin 37s... DO NOT TRUST YOUR STOCK AXLES! im suprides i havent broke yet. haha but you gotta post pics of the build whenever you do it!

If you wish to run big tires such as 37 inches, you need to have bigger lifts... 6" above will do... just need to make few adjustments if it rubs...
