yes sir, those are the best of the best that RC offers

They are not listed on their site however you will see them on the site "soon" from what I was told.

I just need to find a place to put it on and some tools (as i dont have a ground lift or even a jack - just hand tools )

I hear that. I'll be putting my lift on in august and I'm borrowing a lot of tools from my friends. I don't have a floor jack either lol.

I have been kicking around the idea of upgrading all my suspension parts, and have been looking at the Currie anti-rock and drag link upgrades but those two together would be about the price I paid for the lift itself.
Soon I am getting some wheels that have 3.75" BS
the stock wheels about 5" BS or so right?
No, the lift is not installed - its just sitting in the house >_<
I want to install it but no tools and shops want to take advantage of me REAL bad, around here.

any suggestions? thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Just get any of your friends that have tools, jack, and jack-stands to help you out. I mean hey what are friends for right. If they aren't willing to help then they must not be to good of friends then. Or just find some local cherokee guys in your area and throw a wrenching party. Say you will supply the food and beer ( if y'all are legal ) if they supply the tools and man hours in labor to help.

To be honest, i dont have any friends that are mechanically inclined lol
I do alot of their repairs for them, I get the " i don't know how you did it" alot.
Over all I have my 260 craftsman kit and rally box w/ specialty tools
I'll be the first of my group of friends to have a lifted vehicle
The joys of a small "city"...

No prob. If I didn't have many friends that were mechanical inclined that's what I would do. You never know.....someone on here may be close to your area and may be willing to help a fellow cherokee owner out.
