Default lift? 91 cherokee, which lift

hey everyone i have a 91 cherokee i would like to lift. i know i would like 4.5 to 6.5 in front and 4 or six in back. my question is which one i will not pay the three grand or whatever for a fabtech lift mainly cuz i dont like fabtech at all but i want a nice cheap good lift. i am pretty sure i want the long arm kit. i just dont know which one id like. any help? also with a front bumper a back one side skirts sliders and full metal underneath to protect front rocks and all and a roof rack with two full size spares and fully loaded do you think ill be weighed down enough to say with a 4.5 ill only have bout three inches?




plz help me decide

from my experience if i could do it all over again i would go bigger and better since u got custom bumpers and stuff i would do the 6.5... another thing to do is look into doing 1 ton axle swap and doing an 8 inch lift from iron rock offroad all of these guys kits are the best out there for any jeep. trust me u get quality. or else get a rough country.

You can have it one way or the other, Cheap or Good, but you aren't going to get both.

Get long arm hands down and do not get a fab tech. You can find a nice long arm setup for less.

Oh boy is right.

There is no single "best kit.".
There are far to many variables involved in selecting a suspension system that referring to any one kit as the be all-end all doesn't help anyone looking for help in selecting a product for his/her rig.

never have liked fabtech way too over priced, a sign to me of an overcocky company. never liked their styles either. im definently going long arm then. and ill look at all your suggestions. thank you.

Get some nice springs of your choise and then look at all the long arm kits. Ive never owned anything other than the rough country long arm. Im sure most long arms are great. I can say that the rough country springs are a bit stiff until broken in but so are most.
