Well, nobody makes a 3" long arm. So i kind of pieced it together.

Rough country 3" - $250
Clayton long arms - $1000
Daystar bumpstops - $30
bumpstop plates - $20
SS brake lines - $100
Rock krawler track bar - $250

I think thats the just of it.

 

Nice build! Do you have any trouble with the longarms rubbing on uptravel at only 3inchs of lift? Im planning on 3inch on 35s this summer, and if funds allow would like to upgrade to longarms.

 

Not to answer for him, but it doesnt matter if its 3 or 5" of lift, the tire will limit you before the arms. The tire will rub the fender, then inner fender long before the arm will touch the frame.
3" and 35's will allow about 3" of uptravel in the front, if everything is trimmed properly, maybe a touch less.

 

Have u not done anything to your track bar?

 

I have removed the entire front fender and plan on relocating the battery, computer, etc and cut the inner fender for more clearance, along with bumpstopping so tire clearance isn't an issue lol.

 

What CT said! haha


And yeah. If you look back a few pages you'll see that i have a rock krawler adj track bar.

And 99, have you done any bumpstopping yet? I dont see how you havent if you have 33's.

 

Not yet. Just bought the Jeep and decided to remove the fender instead of trim, since my last XJ I used the fenders as rockrails. I need to RTI ramp it to check clearances, but with 3inch on 35s, with trimmed inner fender, I figured there was enough uptravel there to worry about longarms contacting the unibody rail. Not opposed to bumpstopping, just curious on the clearances

 

You will be fine than. Even with the inner trimmed, you'll have plenty of uptravel before the arm hits the body.
I need to cut the inners out of mine, I lost some uptravel on 37's.
Don't forget the rear either, plan on basically rubbing it. The .tire will run the rear of the inner wheel well. And you'll be cutting the quarter high.

 

Alright so sorry there hasent been many updates latley. Money has been tight and im in the process of being hired with Tampa Fire Rescue so ive been busy.

Its starting to get hot down here in florida and im having more and more heat soak problems. Moving the air temp sensor and wrapping the fuel rail/injectors with heat tape dident solve my problem. So my next thing is hood vents. Im gona follow MRJCRod's write up. This is what they look like.

Do you guys think i should paint them black like he did or orange like my long arms?

 

I like that. Definitely black. I need something too so ill be watching...

 

Heres the write up. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/ho...-28184/index2/

Im just sick of getting heat soak and having to sit in a hot parking lot with my hood open letting the injectors cool down. Im gona smother everything with di-electric grease and let it all get wet. Unless theres a hurricane. Then ill close em up!

 

Yeah, you wont hurt anything. Ive had open hoods before

 

Thats what i figured. I wash the engine bay so i figure 2 holes wont hurt anything. The water will help cool the engine!

 

so how much did you end up bumstopping in the front? and do you you have any issues with the longarms bottoming against your unibody rails?

 

also did you have any issues with your front drive shaft after the long arms pulled your front axle foward?
