To lift or not to lift? that is my question.

Ide say, what kind of lift depends on what you want to do.

Theres no need in spending assloads of cash, when its only gonna see muddy roads.

What I mean is, adjust spending accordingly.

Cherokees are unibodys only suspension lifts will work you can't put a body lift on a Cherokee. And a suspension lift will give you more room for larger tires which give more clearance so will the lift.
WOW!!!!!!

Money really isn't an issue, I guess I just really need to get it level.

Unless he wants to get out a sawzall or airhammer, then do ALOT of pointless repair work & welding, the XJ chassis will never ever see a body lift.

And if anyone actually did this, while interesting, it would be a huge waste of time & money....Oh and did I mention it would be pointless, lol
