i have been looking at buying a cherokee for a while and was wondering what a good model/year would be to buy eventually i want to have it mud worthy and would ultimatly end up with a good 8 inches of lift any suggestions?

 

no

 

any specific reason?

 

Do a search here, On COG (center of gravity) You'll change your mind, Along with saving yourself a lot money (and headaches)! And after you decide on the 3-4" lift, Have fun!

 

Ya, ive herd some people that have 6.5 lifts and they say its too high. I personaly would got 3 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body spacers. For tires id go 32 or 33s in of course mud terrain

 

i have the 3" with spacers to give me 5" and i love it. if it was only me riding in it, i would like to go higher but since it is a family vehicle, this is fine. it has tons of clearance now and goes through everything i have tried it at

 

When you find the frame to mount the body spacers on, PM your adress to me. I'll send you $1000.

Do a max 4-6" lift add some 35" tires, net lift 6-8". 8" suspension lift on a XJ is a MAJOR job, basically a redesign of the vehicle and lots of cash.

 

i have the 3 inch now id like to add the spacers and new shackles, you think id need to get new control arms if i wanted to run 32s?

 

I mean the 2 inch spacers that you see, i dont have them yet so i dont know where they go.

 

Blocks go on the rear leaf springs, spacers go on the front coil springs.

 

hey putting 2 inch spacers on top of the 3in lift...will i need to get new control arms to run 32s or 33s?

 

Yes at 5" you need adjustable control arms, or Control arm drops, or Long arms and a new trackbar. You will most likely also nees a SYE and driveshaft.

 

yea i figured i would need the SYE and driveshaft, but would it be cheaper just to do the control arm drops rather than just get the adj. arms?

 

hey man, i got your pm and responded.

your jeep is way newer then mine and the word is the newer ones get vibes alot easier then my old school one so you'll have to try it out to find out what you need.

 

if you are going to 8 inches of lift, go with a long arm setup.
