hi guys and gals, just got me an 89 cherokee, a red one with gold acc.
after i got it home i found out that #5 cylinder only had 20 psi, grrrrrr. anyway im thinking about putting a rough country 6.5 lift along with some 35's.
will i need a slip yoke elem?
and what else do i need to do or look out for??

im not going rock crawling everyday, maybe once or twice a year in kansas so nothing severe.

yes ull need a sye and a tcase drop kit,extended brakes lines,u might have to put shims in the rear axel to angle it better,i would get better brakes since thats alot of weight to have to stop

SANDWORKS

the kit came with transfercase drop and brake lines.

also how do i tell what tranfercase i have? i dont know jeeps that well cuz im a chevy guy

xjmuddigger

u have the np242 atleast u should since its a 89,if u have 4 different 4wd selections then u have the np242 if u have only 3 selections then u have the np231

can i run 35's with only a 4.5 lift? anyone done that?

kellan_musseau

Yep I run 35s at around 4 inches. Just some trimming needed.

If you need ideas, browse the forums..

ok, that would be great, so i wont need a sye? or diff drive shaft?

and the RC 4.5 la will work with 35s.

oh and the search on here sucks.

type site:www.cherokeeforum.com on google and then the keyword and it works better.

You should probably run either a t-case drop or a sye with the kit yes.
