Well im selling my john boat and trailer this weekend and ive decided on upgrading to rough country's 4.5in lift. Ill probably go with the add a leaf to save my money in case I have to get a sye. Is anyone running the 4.5 kit on their newer Cherokee? Did you need a sye or was the tc drop kit fine? Thanks!

I have the 4.5. T c drop is fine with mine. I recommend buying full leaf packs though. I had to replace the ones with the aal after my first good wheeling trip

I thought about iro or rubicon express but I don't mind rough countrys products. I don't wheel as much as I used to so it doesn't get a lot of abuse either. If I can find one used or on sale I would go with either of those 2

Well I went to the junkyard yesterday and hit the jackpot. I found a 3-4.5in lift with coils, fixed lower control arms, and extended shackles. Also new wiper blades, tow hooks, and a v8 grand Cherokee tie rod for $50! The coils are 21in long and 1.25 in thick, with about a 1in gap between coils does anyone know what size lift this might be?
