Hello guys,

I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee country with no mods on it. I want to start working on it as a project car so I can take it off roading with it when me and my friends go quading. Now the first thing I want to do is lift it and put on some tires on it BUT I know if you put over sized tires on a car your pushing the engine more. So my question is what kind of check list should I do before even starting this project.



Thanks.

 

figure out how much u plan to spend, if ur looking for more of a budget build or a lot of money

 

I'm looking for more of a budget build.

 

I would get the 4.5" suspension lift from rough country and 31's on steel wheels its what i got and i am still in high school

 

You can go with a 3.5" lift, 31" tires you should be fairly good, you said youll be riding quads, if you will be towing a trailer, definately look into adding an auxillary trans cooler if you have the auto and mabye a regear if you will be towing up some steep hills and taller tires. Replace/upgrade/Refresh your cooling system should be your #1 priority as hot weather is just around the corner.

 

So if I lift the jeep and put on bigger tires the motor should be fine?

 

Should be. As long as everything else is in good order youll be fine.

 

Cool beans thanks man ill get on it. I'll be sure to post up pics

 

yeah i am running 33s on my 4.0 with 355 gears and its running fine, gas mileage is my only enemy haha you should be fine with 31s no doubt

 

Just be sure your cooling system is in good shape the rest is straight up.

 

Thanks

 

Alright my next question tire size. Now do you guys mean when you say 33's how did you get that number I'm looking at tires eight now and I don't see that size.

 

33x12.50R15. You should be able to search by size
