No he didnt, and it didnt last 10 years.

Hockey pucks are only used in 2 seasons of hockey due to abuse and dry rot issues. Imagine having those on a car. Not wise.

Do it right the first time or dont do it at all.

Where do you put the pucks on a Jeep? I've seen cut rate body lifts on bogger trucks and such. You do realize that a Jeep is unitized construction and does not have a separate frame.

Those arent hockey pucks. That is a body lift from poly spacers.

And you cant do that with a cherokee, its a unibody. (body and frame are one)

lol again. your brother didnt lift his CHEROKEE with hockey pucks. you are lying. cant be done because the cherokee is a unibody rig. the body is attached to the frame. so again. you brother didnt do it on a CHEROKEE.
