I am wanting to build my Cherokee for taking on the trails. Just curious of what set ups others run. What size lifts and tires? Need to get all the info I can haha. I am new to all of this and just want to see what others are running. Thanks!

Look at the sticky at the top of this page to get an idea of what others are running.

A solid 3.5" lift and 31s will get a lot of things done especially if you run a locker.

It will also depend on what type of wheeling you plan on doing...You need to figure out the terrain you have around you and decide what it is you want to do, whether it is light trail riding, rock crawling, mud bogging, mall crawling, etc., etc.

No not THE Johnny Horton not even a relative haha. I will mostly be around mud, hills and some rocks but not anything huge. I just want something fun and still dependable, if that is possible! It will not be a fully built trail rig either considering I want to drive it.
