Even if a body lift was possible on an XJ, they are stupid and pointless. Every time I see a big mall crawler chevy truck with 4" blocks and a body lift so high I can see the entire frame, it makes me sick.
If you wanna fit those 32s with no lift, do some major bumpstops, get some offset rims, and cut the hell out of the fenders. Simple low COG rig.

i'd go with a 3.5 to 4.5 inch lift with minor trimming of the fenders.

First off,

WELCOME!!
The XJ is a UniBody vehicle, meaning the that the sub-frame is integrated into the body. There is no separate frame.

A lift of 3" or more, moderate trimming, and depending on how wide of a tire your are running, wheels with less offset (or Wheel Spacers) will cure your rubbing issues.

Keep in mind that there's more to running bigger tires than just installing a lift kit. Consideration should be given to proper shocks, increased brake line length, Proper gearing, correct speedometer gear, and possibly a Slip Yoke Eliminator.

FWIW,
The Search feature here will help you find a lot of answers to any questions you might have. Always use it first to save yourself a lot of time.

^^ This

and asking about a body life on a cherokee site is kinda like asking a hooker if she gives out samples.... a big no no that usually results in a face slap

Welcome to the site

If the guy is asking this question is obvious that he is new with xjs and have no experience on cars at all. No need to make fun of him, this site is to help everybody. Some times i have questions and dont ask just because of this . Be nice guys.

Thank you! As I was reading this thread I was getting more and more disappointed with our members. I know we are better than this. When you speak to new people on this forum you speak for the forum not just for yourself. Please, a little respect goes a long way.

As for Bigcountry you can pm me with any questions you may have and hopefully I can point you in the right direction. If not I know enough people on here that can help you out. Looking forward to talking with you.

Thanks
Doug
