Exclamation Help Needed!!!!!

Hey guys I'm new to the jeep game, Ive been driving my 99 WJ stock for a little too long if you know what i mean and i was wondering if yall could recommend some lifts and tires. Nothing that will break the bank just something that will look good and handle the occasional off roading.

spacers are the cheap way to go, or a 2" body lift

you know that you cannot do a body lift on a grand cherokee, right? you should know, having a 93 like what i had previously. you cannot body lift a unibody as there is no frame. you have to either buy springs or spacers. 2" spacers will look just like 2" springs to everyone but another lifted 4x4 person and they already know that 2" spacers is the way to go at that height.

Default 3" lift

if 3" is wanted then you need to move up to a budget lift, Front spring swap to the rear, new front springs and some new shocks... Rough country makes a very affordable budget lift.

you right, all i could find that would suit your needs and give you what you want is...

http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/cart/in...roducts_id=800

Take a look at this... good bang for your buck with a very respectable brand
Not quite as high as you were looking for ... but this and some fender trimming might work for the 32"s
Most of the time this lift will raise you about 3" so the forums say anyhow.. i have no direct experience with this lift.

whats your budget?

He has a 99. They can't do the F-R swap like us ZJs can!


Here is a full 3" kit from IRO.
