my lift is 3,5" and i run 32x11,5 with no problems.. (some cutting and BW flares)


i started with a 2" bb and 30x9,5... after the first lift, all i wanted was more and more lift

So go with a 3,5" or 4,5" lift

ive been looking at a few inches of lift. my buddy has been running lifted jeeps forever. he says a 31 inch tall tire will fit a cherokee stock, just not... well lol. im looking at putting a 2 inch shackle in the rear, and getting a 1 inch bigger spring setup for the front. i think that combined with an offset rim of about an inch or so, and some fender trimming ill be able to run 31 usefully. anyone out there tried this? maybe with those big "weekend warrior" style flat fenders?

I've had my 99 Grand Cherokee for a little over a year now, and I have recently been contemplating putting a 3" lift on it with some 31's. Is there any suspension lift kit in particular that would work better with the WJ that anyone can recommend? I also want to get some new wheels to go with the new tires I plan on getting, is there a site that has some nice looking offroad wheels?

Thanks

Default How to post?

Hi All, hate to sound ignorant here, but i signed up so i could post a few questions I have, but for the life of me i can't figure it out.

I figured there would be a straight forward "create post" button or something, but it doesn't seem so simple. Maybe I'm blind as a bat or something, but can someone let me know what i need to do.

Thanks!

Did you get the 3.5" lift from Fat Bob's? I can't find the 3.5! lol They do have one hell of a lift section though...
