If your Cherokee is stock, the cheapest route is a 2-3" lift and cut your fenders.

I have a 4.5" lift already in my barn but don't have the money for tires just yet. I would like to lift it before the new year but I have no help because of my work schedule

You should be able to get 32" in there. What gears are you running? If you have 3.55's like I do you may want to stick with 31"

I have 3.55 and I'm gonna be putting on 33s. Doc is running 31s with 3.07s. May not be the best combo, but it works.

I have 33's on mines with 3.55. Pretty much stock drivetrain. Gas milage sucks big donkey *****. But it still moves.

3rd time is the charm. I have the same setup as the two above.

I'm all stock right now, LP30/D35. I won't go past 33s until I axle swap and regear. I'm thinking D44f/8.8r with 4.56s. That's a long way off, though.

Well, I've got 33's locked e-eaton alloy shafts 4:56 d30 and alloy shafts with truss and auburn locker on my 8.25 with 4:56. My new rear end is much stronger then d44
