Which lift?
I'm planning on buying a lift in the next month or so and still can't decide what to get.
3 Choices
3.5 RE lift
4.5 RC lift
4.5 Rusty's lift
I was also wondering if I did get a 4.5 inch lift if it would look weird not having bigger tires on it since it would take me a while to be able to purchase them?
Here is a picture of my Jeep to give you a better idea its a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited.

You really need to consider what all goes with having a lift taller than 3.5" and make an informed decision.
I would honestly be more concerned with the head and LP front diff.

Your Jeep looks really good with the 4.5 inch lift and the stock tires a lot better then I thought it would.
thanks

I was thinking about getting some 32 inch BFG tires if I got the 4.5 inch lift and 31 inch BFG's with a 3.5.

So from what I understand if I get a lift bigger than 3.5 I will have to get a T case drop along with other things?
On average how much would the extras cost for getting a bigger lift?
