Default Questions

I am about to get my cherokee in a month or two and have had some questions. This will be my DD and weekend wheeler. I am in highschool and live in Colorado. I have been looking at some 4.5 in. kits and am wondering if it is to much or to little. Also what tire sizes, gears, and upgrades should i plan on doing. I have a buddy whoes cousin was in the military as a machanic so all of the work will done by me and him.

Cool

If this is going to be your dailydriver , if you choose a 3" LIFT AND run 31 or 32" tires you don't need to change your gearing it should work ok, most autos are 3.55 and manuals 3.07. This way you can still get some mpg on the highway!
