so i finally got around to starting on my sons cherokee. This will be his first rig next year when he starts driving. Until then its my toy.

It is a 94. i just got done rebuilding the motor, installing a rustys 3 inch lift i scored off craigslist for 125 with discos, 31x10.50r15 tires, a stereo, cut and folded the front fenders, and lift shackles in the rear, and a pair of bumpers i scored from ebay for 200 bucks to my door. still have to install the mustang intake, neon injectors, bored throttle body and spacer. then a full exhaust.

this forum has been very helpful with budget friendly upgrades.

pre shackle lift


post shackle lift, a little over 2 inch gain


and the front fender fold


now we take it out tomorrow for its first 4x4 trip.

Were the shackles a direct fit? I have a set of McGaughy drop shackles from my last truck but I thought there was some modification needed for the fit.
