My son and I want to lift our cherokee. It is a 2000 with a 4.0. we have look, may have over looked, but can't seem to find how high we can lift it with out changing the pinion angles. any help would be nice

 

Adjustable Control arms for the front and proper shims under the leafs in the rear.

 

how high can I go 2", 3" ect with out having to change the pinion angles?

 

I believe any amount of lift will change the pinion angle. As far as lifting without correcting the pinion angles I would say none. You will need an alignment when you lift it anyway so you may as well have them adjust pinion angle while their at it. There are also quite a few write ups detailing a home alignment that includes setting the pinion angles.

Vibes and bearing problems are not fun.

 

Doing an alignment is a cakewalk. You can adjust your pinion angle on the front while your at it. Google it, then grab yourself a tape measure and an angle finder.

 

any lift height will change you pinion angles

 

Ya but you can adjust it on the bottom bolt of the lower Front control arms

 

thanks for the replies. I was told by a local that I could lift 4" with out changing any angles. being that I have to reangle anyways I am going with a 6" sl and a 2 in bl.

 

Wait, 6"sl? 2" bl? Please don't tell me your gonna lift it 8" on stock control arms, trackbars,etc....

 

Next post...I have horrible death wobble!

 

Correction.... Next post: Where do bl spacers go? As I assume bl= body lift.

 

Just unbolt the body and slide them in

 

Any amount of body lift will cause ungodly amounts of death wobble.. . :P

 

that is good to know....no body lift then
