i got an 89 cherokee all stock but has 6inch long arms 33x12.5 tires some spot lights and aftermarket sound system. its fun and has crazy flex ( for me) but i just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what i should do next i dont have much money so it would have to be cheap stuff or somehting i can make. i would love to switch from 33s to 35s but im running stock gearing and stock axles. any ideas on what next?

if you wheel it you should know what it needs, but Im guessing mall crawler? maybe a roof rack. Or save the money for next repair or something else

save up for gears and lockers. and if you have a dana 35, a new rear axle.

well its got 240k miles. do u think it will have a big power loss going from 33 to 35s

its like a 65% off road rig the rest are around town

So then if you wheel more than pavement you should know what your limited by. When I can't make it up an obstacle i have to have another rig pull me up it, so I know my next upgrade should be lockers or a winch so im not limited by this anymore. Use this to find your next upgrade, or save for some repairs or tune ups. 240k is alot for any vehicle

i think you're insane for running 33s on stock gearing. 35s would be even worse. acceleration must be horrible and overdrive must be useless on the freeway. i also don't understand why everyone is in a craze to get the biggest tires possible under their rig. you'll do way better off road locked on 33s with proper gearing than open with 35s on stock gearing.

i cant really just thro on some new axles and gearing. if i do will my front axle be okay with 35s on trails i think they're dana 30 right?
