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.

 

4.5 with 235 tires. I don't have money for new tires yet either

 

Moved to chat.

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

 

Yea honestly I can't complain. But I still can't wait for my 31's

 

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.

 

X2 them heads...

 

Yea, that's what most people do. You should regear it if you go for 32's though.

 

Are you talking about the head on the engine? As long as the jeep is maintained regularly and doesn't over heat the head will be fine

 

Would probably be a lot less trouble to get some 31's and it would still look really good

 

IMO yes. Plus you will have more room for flex without crushing your fenders

 

Not from what I understand. The 0331 head can crack under normal conditions.

 

Really? Mine hasn't yet, 140,000 miles, no problems at all. Not to stir up a debate, just stating my experience

 

You might have been really lucky so far, or just have microscopic cracks that havent widened out yet. Thats what happened to my mazda truck...

 

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?
