Default Lifts/Tires

Hey guys, I've had my cherokee for nearly a year now and have been using it every day. I try to go wheelin whenever I get the chance, weekends/after school. Anyway, I was looking for a 4-4.5" lift but I am also a daily driver. I was wondering if you guys could make any suggestions on a good lift and tires for a daily driver but also someone who likes to off road? I don't want to destroy my mpg but still wanna have fun off roading.

Secondly, I was wondering how I can get the white trim, if it's even called that... off my jeep if possible? Looks a little too sporty ( lol cherokee sport), any suggestions would be appreciated.

Remove the door side mouldings with fishing line and the tape resedue with a heat gun. It comes off easy. Same for the lettering. Took me about an hour to remove all the plastic from mine. You can use a product called back to balck on the flares. As far as a lift. My only suggestion is research each kit available. Compare the kits and remember some of the cheap kits may cost you just as much in the end as a higher priced one. I have a 4.5 RE lift and run 32s'ish BFG a/ts. I put about 238 miles a week on it.

Ah okay, that was really helpful. I'm at about 200-250 miles a week between school/work/other stuff. I'll look into the lifts and tires, thanks for the help.

what size tires are you wanting to run if you want 31s a 3 " or 3.5 " lift will be enough for moderate off roading
