Went on a jeep cruise yesterday with about 30 jeeps... There was about 6 cherokees, and they all had nice lifts... Now, I guess I am wondering what the heck is up with my lift... I started with a ome 4" lift.
3.5" leafs with 3" shackle in rear, and 2" lift coils with 3" coil spacers (this is a long story... don't ask) so after I installed my smittybilt front an rear bumper... I needed more... So I bought rubicon express 4" lift coils. I installed the 4" coils, with a 1" spacers in front... This leveled it out with rear... (stiffer coils) so I guess my question is, what the heck is wrong with my lift! If I put 2" coil spacers in front, and a block in rear, or different shackle, it still looks tiny for a 5-6" lift.... I see this re 5.5" long ARM lift kit for $2000... But I have at least that now and it just looks little compared to everyone else... I know I am only running 31" tires, and that will make it look bigger when I get 33" tires, but what the heck.... I need to see some pictures.... Anyone have the re 5.5 long arm? Pics, reviews appreciated...

Your Jeep looks about right for a 4in lift with 31in tires. The weight of your front bumper probably dropped you what you gained with the 1 in spacer. 33s will make a big difference in how it looks. Thats what I would do rather then redoing the whole lift. Actually I would do 35s but you would have to cut the fenders a bunch. I have about 4in right now with 33s.
