Default Let's see your XJ's with 1-2" lift

Big lifts and big tires tend to get all the love but I think an XJ with a budget boost can sometimes look just right. I'm thinking about throwing one on for a few months before I install a RE 3.5" that I'm still piecing together. If you have a Cherokee with a small lift post it up! Feel free to mention how you achieved the lift and what size tires you're running.

Looks sweet, that's a unique color. I was looking at the RE 2" kit for a long time. Do you get any rubbing with those 31's?

adjust the steering stops and they will no longer rub. you won't even notice the little less turning radius.
