Exclamation New guy here question about lift kits

im new to the world of offroad and 4x4, have been a speed freak the past few years in the 2 wheel crowd, however i just purchased an 88 4x4 cherokee and was wondering the best way to get a decent small lift for a low price, im only thinking of going about 3 inch lift on the suspension don't care to run a large tire, this jeep is my daily beat around ride that i want to have some fun in on the weekends. so whats my best options?? thanks!

you can do a 2" BB and run 30's and you won't need things like an sye or a new adjustable tracbar. or do a 3" lift and run 31's, probly still wont need an sye, but maybe an adjustable tracbar.

If you go with a 3" kit, Zone offroad has a great kit available with most of everything you'll need in it. Its low price helps too, around $300.00 with shocks. Stick with your stock wheels and a set of 31s and call it done.

Zone is a good kit, they use parts from other companys and put together a nice lift I have one and it made my 94 ride MUCH better. Here is their link. http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=34&vi=959
Here is a pic of a 3 inch on my jeep with 31's...Tj
