Default 4.5" lift question

I just got a 2000 Cherokee sport an I'm going to put a 4.5" rough country lift on it! Is there anything else I should get? Would I need to extend anything? Please help I appreciate it thanks!

You'll need a slip yoke eliminator and CV driveshaft, also depending on what lift you get from them, you may need extended brake lines. Check out the sticky lift kit threads in the modified XJ section for tons of info. Welcome to the forum!

It's more about what you're gonna want to get.
4.5" is a good lift. Put it in and drive. (After an alignment)
You're not gonna need anything else, but that's part of the Jeep Addiction. You'll want much more.

It's that good old never ending drive to make your Jeep the best machine it can be! There's a reason they say Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket.

That's the spirit Bud. Check out my build page. I started exactly where you are. Hope it helps.

If its a daily driver i would spend a little more and get a better brand like rubicon express.Or if you got the money look in a long arm kit like http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...-NP231J-T-case
