so my boy got a 97 cherokee close to a year ago.. he has been itching to get a lift on it since... so we got him one for christmas. me and him installed it today..







new parts...

3.5" rubicon front springs

3.5" add a leafs from rustys

shocks, u-bolts, transfer case drop, brake line drops, and control arms all from rustys also...



i love the way it sits, he just needs to find himself a set of 31" tires to finish it off...

Looks great!

 

he was trying to be all cool and not act excited after seeing it.. i could tell he was all wound up about it..lol


gotta align it now but other then that it rides pretty good. a lot more firm..

i think he learned a lot while we were doing the lift. thats always a good thing..

 

Teenager? Gotta stay cool man. Not TOO excited or anything. Lol

 

yes 17... lol

 

I like your garage. Are you adopting any children soon?

 

lol at this^^^

but yea this awesome. Im 19 and my father helps me a lot with my jeep and hes got a garage with every tool under than sun and hydrolic lifts. the jeep looks good. lifted enough for 31's and enough to turn heads and help u on the trails but not over kill to the point where he's gunna be doing u-joints on the driveshafts once a month and going to mud bogs. job well done

 

Looks awesome!

Wherabouts in jersey are you?

 

Nice! Just remove all that Nasty trim and grab some 32's and new rims :thumbup;

 

Awesome way to spend quality time with your son!

 

Mossy Oak and Realtree on the same vehicle is blasphemy lol. Realtree ftw. Looks good and glad you and your old am did it together. My old man doesn't know jack about cars other than the basics. He teaches me woodworking I teach him auto. Looks good. Welcome to the lifted club

 

Looks good abodyjoe! First time I have ran into someone from another forum. I saw the post on FABO, but didn't comment. I lurk/read more than I post. Looks great, glad yall got to do that together.

 

loll. been a member here since march.. have had a few questions here and there but don't post here too much. i do read quite a bit of threads though. lots of good info here.. this is really the first thing worth posting we have done to the jeep...

 

i wish it was my garage... if i had a shop like that my family would never see me..lol


its a friends place.. he was kind enough to let us do the lift there. was nice because the weather was horrible. plus his extra set of hands helpped big time in a few spots..
