58 and after shipping gotta be close to 60 lol
8s are good so you can upsize, 10.50 is basically maxing out a 7inch wide wheel, although wider will fit, manufactures don't recommend it. But Im sure if tuners can stretch a narrow *** tire on a 10inch wide wheel(IHATE STRETCH) then you can essentially put like a 14 on a 7

I run 8" wide wheels on 33 12.50s. With The wider tires and a narrow wheel, you're a lot less likely to spit the tire of the bead when airing down. It's kind of like a poor man's bead lock.

I was thinking the same thing; that the jeep is the cheap part but that's when it occurred to me that most expensive upgrades can be swapped out to the next Cherokee. That's the beauty of the cherokee. It's a relatively inexpensive platform because it changed so little.

Try and find a vendor on here to buy threw. Check out the vendor section. A lot of them give forum discounts. Send them a PM. Like I said a few pages back Serious Off Road has got some good prices and I think free shipping on lifts and they are in Colorado so should ship quick.

It's all back together, those new springs are super thick and I definitely can't use the anti-sway bar anymore. The rear back bushings are shot and getting those replaced next week. I packed them with grease for tomorrow. I'll be there at 10 for sure.

Cool! Looks like the weather will be great too!

Heck, I have not had a front sway bar for around 4 years.
