Cherokee Lift
I have a quick question about lift kits. I am looking to put a suspension lift in my 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport. This is my first Jeep and first lift so I really don't know much of anything.
I guess I should start by saying what I want. I want to put in a 1.5 inch suspension lift, and I am looking at the rough country kit that comes with shocks. Now please before you go off on how I should just put a three inch kit in please hear me out. This Jeep is a beater/off road vehicle and is in no way for cruising around the mall and looking good. The only reason I am lifting it at all is I need the new shocks as the ones I have will not currently pass state inspection. I figured that if I was going to replace the shocks I might as well lift it which I had planned on eventually and putting in new shocks, then taking them out in a few months to lift it just did not make sense. I don't want to lift it 3 inches because I am not putting bigger tires on it. I just want a little more clearance (I really don't need much at all) and the new shocks.
NOW for my question. Would you need to get new U bolts or leaf springs for a short lift like this? From what I have found it does not look it but I am not 100% sure. Also does anyone have anything to say about the Rough Country lift? Would it be worth it? Please don't go off on me though. I am just getting into this stuff, I have zero experience working on vehicles and off roading other than what I have already done on this one. I am trying to learn as much as I can about it. Thanks for any help.
