i have a 99 sport with the 4.0 and 4x4 everything on it is stock...next spring i am wanting to lift it up some...whats the most you can lift a cherokee without having to extend brake lines and stuff like that...basicly not spend any money except on the kit..... thanks

Go with the rough country 4.5" kit (full leaf) it comes with; shocks, brake line relocation backets, t-case drop kit, LCA's, & springs! Plus its pritty cheap at around $700 I think!!!

I did not know this kit came with all of that and for only $700? Thats crazy. However if you just plain dont wanna move anything, i think three inches is the most you can go

yeah at 3 I didn't have to change anything, you might get 3 1/2 without, but that's pushing it for brake lines, mine pull pretty tight on full flex.

yeah i was thinkin around 3 inches or so i dont do much offroad, but i want it to look more aggresive and let me put some bigger tires under her

3 inches and 31's, you will rub during hard turns, but looks nice. I've got Cooper Discoverer ATR's (31x10.50x15), great on road, ok off road tire, deep mud makes you wonder but she ain't been stuck yet.

and is there a kit you would recommend

I went with the Rough Country 3 inch from JC whitney, front is excellent, not hard on ball joints, tie rods, easy install, the rear aal is not so hot, I did it and within a month my rear springs were sagging. Comes with shocks, 3 inch lift front coil springs and rear aal and block options, but neither seems a good idea, blocks cause axle wrap and aal's made the springs sag. Kit is for Dana 35, if you have the Chrysler 8.25, you will have to get u bolts locally.

In hind sight, I think I would have got this kit and added 1 1/2 shackles on the rear to balance out the sag I've developed.

I would still take a look at www.roughcountry.com cause all of there lifts are cheaper than most, but still well bilt!

I'm not knocking the RC kit, they are well built and affordable, but I would have gone with new rear springs had I seen this link before I bought from JC whitney, the kit I got is about 20 cheaper direct.
