So I think I've been debating long enough,I really outta lift my jeep I've had it for almost 3 years and always thought about it but never could bring myself to sink any money into doing it. Right now I have a set of almost new 235 wrangler all seasons,but are there any lifts you all suggest that aren't too hard to install? I'll post some pics tomorrow for a general idea as well. I don't wanna really go above 3 inches And I really am not looking to spend over $500. Thanks in Advance.

Most 3" lifts are under $500. Search for the various brands. Install is basically the same on all of them. Do you want new tires as well? Are you gonna wheel this thing at all?

That seems a little pricey for just a bb. And if you rear leafs are already sagging(most Cherokees are) shackles wont yield you the advertised amount of lift.
Here's essentially the same thing for almost half the price:

Or without shocks since I believe you can run factory shocks with a bb, but Im not sure.

I have Skyjacker hydro shocks and they are ok for the money. Nothing to brag about ride wise but have held up very well over the last 5 years.
