If you're serious about lowering it, the factory front springs from a TJ will lower the front an inch.

 

I saw that red one in the pic and thought for a sec the trashcan was attached to the back lol.

 

thank you thats helpful i will be going to pick and pull this weekend

 

hopefully yours doesnt turn out like those in the pictures posted here, they look like the ugliest pieces of ****...poor jeeps

now if you do it right, dont 'slam' it, but lower, decent wheels/tire combo, not ghetto'd out, and put a massive motor in it, more like a 'pro-tour' look, not a 'ghetto-ville' look, you'd have some potential. Ive always loved the simple lines of a jeep. My friend did this to his 2dr blazer, looks pretty clean, and I dont like lowered SUVs personally. then again, look at my XJ, and i cant imagine doing that to my 'child' lol...

Whatever you do, post pics and good luck. Its really about the custom work and fabrication you put into it and feeling good about the job you did to it, im sure those people who own those jeeps pictured in the previous posts think they look 'bad ***'...*cough cough... but, they like it and its THEIR ride. I wont comment on that white one....
good luck and take pics!

 

id get some f150 springs and cut them, cause they are stiffer, you wont bottom out as much. if you do plan on lowering, are you gonna shorten the bump stops? i always hit them on the highway with my stock worn out springs...it gets annoying.

 

was this project ever done?

 

they do a lot of this stuff with s10's in my area i'm not sure if that goes the same way in you're area but i think a minitruck cherokee would look pretty dang sweet not versatile, but you could make the same arguement about wheeling. is the work money and effort and time worth it? we have paved roads so logically no.. don't let anyone try to put you down dude... oh and look up project troll i think you'll get some great ideas from that guy

 

Hows this one?!

 

Make sure to have an extra set of ice tires for it !

 

Here's one of my favorites to give you some inspiration!

 

I've seen pictures of that white one but never seen it run before... What an ANIMAL that thing is! Makes me want to do one like that!
