I love my lift, but I've upgraded several things. Bilstien 5150 shocks, OTK steering, and many other things. Maybe we can meet up and you can see. Impact driver helps if you have one.

Should be pretty easy to install. Only thing you'll have to do is cut off the Lower control arm frame mounts. They will be in the way of your new Long arm control arms. If you need help just let me know. Basically all you need is a good set of wrenches, Sockets, and breaker bar. And then of corse a cut off wheel for the lower control arm Factory frame mounts. And alot of PB Blaster.

Well it's a continuous project but initially it only took about a week after work each day. But, I learned a ton. So, just let us know when you're ready..

I've got 33x12.5r15 right now but I've got room for bigger. Just waiting to save some more money. The shock bolts are almost always breaking on Cherokees in the rear, mine did too. I just cut from above and used new bolts.

I had to cut from above to get bolts out. I already beefed up my axels I'm at 4:56 with alloy shafts and e-eaton locker in my D30 and my rear is 4:56 with alloy shafts and welded truss. So, it's just a matter of me saving money for the 35's I want

Definitely better than when I had the 3:55. Of course that's with the lift. Haven't really measured what I get now, maybe I'll do that.
