Default 1999 Jeep Cherokee SE Body Lift???

Can I put a body lift on my 99 Jeep Cherokee SE? I know you cant put it on a the XJ because of the one frame thing but im almost 17 and I want to get a lift so i want to know if the SE is any different.

Thanks guys.

So that means the SE is no different from the XJ?

The SE is a trim package. Such as Limited, Base, yadda yadda. Nothing special really. Still an XJ

Not possible. Suspension only. If your wanting a small lift (2" or so) look into a Budget boost (Coil spacers/shackles)

No true Cherokee with the XJ designation can be body lifted. The last capable of a body lift were the FSJs produced in the 70s as far as I know.
