i know this kit isnt very great but it is very cheap and i am not an extremeist, my shocks are already gone so i thought i would give her a little lift while i was at it. take a look...... 3" Ebay Lift kit

 

There are a few reviews from fat bob's garage
(where he is getting the kit from)

most say its fine and give it a average of 4 stars
most common complaint is vibration (but that can be fixed) and after about a year the coils start to compress (sag) - but then they say the ride is better after the coils compress

so if your not worried about some droopage and can/are gonna put in a stabilizer and some shims; then go for it

 

Hey thanks!!!! i am new with all this stuff and dont even know what stabilizer and shims are.... or how much it will run me

 

stabilizer is the shock mounted across your front axle (get one it needs it anyways about $50) and axle shims correct pinion angle and are installed under leaf spring in the back.. summitracing.com is good for this stuff fast and cheap

 

If ur going with aal then I wouldnt get that kit, it comes with a short leaf that will sag very quickly, look for one like Rough countrys that comes with a full length leaf and plus it doesn't say it comes with any hardware. I wouldnt buy it

 

I am rocking that kit right now, and upgraded to full length aal's. I am really impressed with the front coils, but the aal's are junk. I barely got 2" from it, honestly i would just fork out the cash for full leaf packs. Fat bobs is my local off road shop, they have good prices on decent products. Just fyi their full length aal's are rough country brand.

 

Also i have ZERO vibes with this kit. I drive my jeep 80 mph everyday to work. I did do the t-case drop, which is like $30 and takes twenty min.

 

Thanks all fo rthe help!! so now i think that i am going with this rough country kiy and add the steering stabilizer to the order for $29 more. seem like a good plan?

 

the lift i am about to buy as well

 

awsome!!

 

do i need one steering stabilizer or two?

 

if you do it right 1...and i've had great luck with rough county all my customers are happy with them and my yj kit was sweet

 

If a kit priced at $230 comes with short AALs.. run away.. you are getting ripped off..

Realistically.. once you buy the rest of the parts you need to put either of those kits on.. you are going to be over the price of other kits at the level... You are going to need new U-bolts. They average around $7 per piece. What about spring clips? Also at 3" you are nearing the overall limit of your stock brake lines. The Ebay kit has a cheesy looking piece, which I suspect is supposed to be a track bar relocation bracket. It is a bit surprising to see them include that, but not the hardware for putting AALs on.

At 3" on a Cherokee is where things go from pretty cheap to lift, to starting to need extras that will cost you. A steering stabilizer is not a must do part.. The stock one will be more than adequate at 3".. even if you are running a 31" tire.

Do a search for bastard pack lifts or budget lifts. You can easily get 3" from JY parts for less money than you are going to spend on either the E-bay or the RC lift then getting all the parts you need to do it correctly.

I'm not endorsing any of these lift kits, but they similar in price and more complete..
