Welcome to the Jeep / Cherokee forum. For a lift... I would suggest making a bastard pack. There's alot of options out there to make one... But all the same concept, Buying leaf packs from a junk yard and adding to your existing leaf pack. Chevy S10, Dodge Dakota, Or even Ford ranger springs will all work. To get a 3in lift... 2 springs from each leaf pack and a set of spacers run about 50 - 75$ at 4 wheel parts in Tacoma. Craigslist is also a good place to find aftermarket parts. Alot of times you will find someone parting out a rolled Cherokee with lots of usable things such as a after market bumper. I found one for 80$ and it came with the winch mount / fairlead. I live in Federal way (Not far from puyallup) and will gladly help with any projects/idea's you might have.

Im from Puyallup too, what do ya know.

Craigslist is your friend. I browse the cl daily when im looking for parts. It'll pop up eventually. Just keep an eye out. Also swap meets are another good place.

hey keaton, I was lookin at your stock bumper you were tryin to sell for awhile but I see you just went back to it again, the one you had on ( aftermarket ) is not quite what I was lookin for though. but it would be good to hook up with you and others from the puyallup area someday... I am up on south hill by the airport off meridian

oh great, left rear taillight I just found out is broken and about to fall off the jeep. anyone has a tail light assy for a 2000 xj hollar out. I think when I bought it the seller told me about this, I saw a crack in the lense and thought that was it. NOPE ,, well ya it was cracked but so was the mounting screw areas.
