My dad got a Wrangler and I love offroading. I figured the best mix between an Envoy and a Wrangler is a Cherokee. Has everything I want and is simple enough to do mechanical/electrical work myself. Plus I need 4WD cause I'm hoping to go to school out west.

Touch up paint from paintscratch.com came in and touched up a bunch of little nicks and spots. I highly recommend buying from them because the color is spot on!

Also, after a LONG time of researching, I finally decided what lift kit I wanted and purchased it and all the components needed. Here's what I got:
-3.5" Rubicon Express SuperRide Lift Kit
-correct u-bolts for 8.25 axle
-4 Bilstein 5100 shocks!
-2" front bump stops

Going to buy 31s and some Cragar Soft 8s most likely in the near future. Really excited for all of this, can't wait for it to ship!

Found this today when bored at school. Looks sweet imo. On stock front bumper and everything but still looks great and practical.

4wheelparts called me today. Waved my $39.99 Ubolts for a Chrysler 8.25 and were out if stock of RE springs, so he's putting identical Pro Comp ones in to speed up the shipping process.
They are exactly the same, right?

At the beginning they will be but according to what ive read pro comp springs will settle more than RE so u might end up in a few months with an odd stance with it being higher up front

Id tell them to send RE springs asap, when i called yesterday they said they had the RE springs in stock

I've got RE 3.5in leafs and I'm sitting at 4.5in right now. It was 5in before they settled... They don't give you a very nice shackle angle, so unless you get a relocation bracket, or they just happen to mount better in your Cherokee, the RE leafs are going to ride super stiff. So stiff in fact that I don't even want to offroad with them.

I think he meant front springs, like coils, but I got it straight. Keepin the kit as it is.

Question: If I buy Cragar Soft 8s can I just use the same lug nuts? Also, should I buy some center caps?
