well i just got a 88 jeep cherokee and am going to lift it soon. i have a 2001 a few years back and did the re 5.5" long arm kit on it and loved it. my question is there a better or comparable lift out there that doesent cost close to 2 grand.

The best bang for buck with plenty of people backing lift I've found is Rough Country for $1300 you can get a 6.5" lift leaf springs, shocks even a couple skid plates & brake lines plus more. There's quite a few guys in this forum using their stuff & say it works great. I chose RC for my 1st lift so I can try to get SYE, bumpers, rear driveshaft, lockers, HD tie rod, wheels, fuel pump & filter for less than $5000.

 

Check with Muddeprived before buying the RC Kit.

 

why is that

 

Cuz he's already installed the RC kit and can give you honest answers to questions regarding the install and the performance.

 

i know for my short time as a member on the forum here, i have already made a couple references to Iron Rock Off Road. they have their house kits that get great reviews, and they even sell the Rough Country lifts if you feel like going that way. even if you decide to do a mix-and-match parts lift, they carry a ton of parts that enable you to go that route as well. from doing some price shopping in comparison to the parts you get with the lifts, these guys have pretty decent pricing. with some of their house lifts, you can add extras to the kit when it ships, like stainless brake lines, different SYE kits, and on some of them they offer different shock upgrades for a reasonable cost.
