I am looking for a 2" of total lift for my cherokee. My budget is 350 or less.. I basically want a setup with the least amount of problems down the road so I'm not looking for shackles or short AAL. My rear leaf springs are basically flat. I was wondering If I should go with "Fat Bob's Garage" 2" lift with new springs, shocks, and long AAL. or go with RC 3" lift with Springs, long AAL and hydro shocks... Suggestions? Again my goal is least amount of problems, vibrations, break downs possible. Thanks

just start piecing together a lift. you can find used 2-3" coils for cheap, do an S10 bastard pack for the rear, find some wrangler JK shocks and there ya go, a decent 2" lift

Ladies

I could I'm just looking for a kit that works well together and I'd rather stick to new parts over used.

If your rear leafs are already shot you need to fix that first. Bastard packs or full packs are going to be the only fix because adding AAL to an already saggy pack will only get you back to stock height. And blocks or shackles will only lead to axle warp.

Ladies

Ya thats why I don't want to go with blocks or shackles. Full packs are a little out of my planned budget. Thats 200 new rears just to get to square one. Do they make a 2" lift in a full pack? Thats not insanely expensive..

Not that I have seen.

I need to upload pics so I know how bad these things are. If I'm looking for a total of 2". If I add a 3" long AAL is this going to be somewhere in the ballpark?

Depending on how saggy your leafs already are you may get an 1-1.5" out of it but it will sag again in no time.

look at quadratec online in their stock replacement section
you can geta a *new* heavy duty leaf pack for 100 bucks not sure if its a pair but thats a start

Ladies

Its 100 a piece.. plus shipping.. can anybody give me how high a stock cherokee should be from ground to fenders. I have 235/75 so its only slightly oversized.

id say your best bet as your needing a new leaf pack is to go with the rough country 3" lift with full packs for alittle over 500

by the time you buy new stock pack then buy 2" AAL your around that anyway might as well do it right the first time and save in the end

You can get a rocky road lift, but like an AAL it will eventually sag down.
