Default 00' Grand Cherokee lift

i need a little bit of help im kinda new to the jeep game but i have had a few lifted vehicles, but whats the deal with suspension lifts i wanna get a rough country 4" but i wanna fit bigger than a 31" tire on it im thinkin a 18" rockstar with maybe a 33-34" tire would this be an issue if i used the rough country and one of those 2" budget boost, is there anythin else i need i would like to do this with as little or no cutting of the fenders anyone thats got any advice would be awesome its goin on a 00 grand cherokee and is the rough country a good deal it seems alot cheaper than some of the others and i would rather spend the extra money than have somethin break when the mud is halfway up the doors ya kno i just ask because i been checkin arond and every website i got to says that a 31" is as big as you can go with a 4" rough country

Your not going to be able to run 33's with only a 4in lift. you can if you do some cutting. I would do which ever kit you think is worth it. remember, you get what you pay for. Just remember when you do your lift your going to need a A-Arm spacer for the rear a-arm

it'll bolt up But do research beyond just this forum. you'll need to determine control arms, track bars,tranfer drop.brake lines and anything I didn't mention. go into it with knowledge or a fat wallet

my best advice is to go and find a WJ specific forum and pick their brains. they would have a better advice. But the way you suggested with the 4in with 2in spacers will work, but then your looking at steeper angles of everything and more problems arise...Death wobble is a major issue on WJ's fyi
