my boys christmas lift.
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...

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..

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

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..
