Default 98 cherokee classis lifted up again!! with pics

OK so the 4.5 rough country kit wasnt enough.....so i added another 2 to the front and 3 to the rear to even her out. I also installed 33x12.5x15 tires so my 31x10.5x15 Dick Cepek mudd countrys are for sale.... they only have 3000 miles on them with no repairs in them. They r really nice tires. well here are the pics............

HDTONY, 97xjmopar=thanks man

c kdna= to be honest i havent had it out in the mud yet. not to many hills down here. I will say on full lock turn it rubs on the back fenders sometimes right now so off roading for sure will bring me some problems. Ill have to do some slight triming. lol

just one small advice
please before off roading your rig, check were it rubbs and trimm and spend some money in bumpstops. before the tires eat those flares in a nasty way.
your rig its almost like new, well it looks. keep it that way.

O and for all those who say u must replace your upper control arm and lower with adjustable ones when going above 4.5 inchs of lift......BS. I am running rough country 4.5 lower control arms that are none adjustable and factory upper arms. sure adjustable would help a little but definitely not required. I just massaged the lower arm mounting locations on the body and the front axle.

easy thats a 6.5 & 7.5 lift
with a 4.5 lift the 33x12.5 wont even fit.
