I have a 1998 jeep Cherokee se 4.0 2 WD with 150,000 miles on it I have brand new tires but they're on stock 15 inch rims can I still get a lift kit? Or should I just replace the shocks springs, coils, and leaf springs and not get a lift at all? I have 2wd so I won't be jeepin to hard I just want a smoother ride and sit a little taller l.

 

I have a 93 sport,when I put new stock springs front and rear it lifted me almost 2 inches.I liked how it looked so I went up 3,lol.

 

Sure you can lift it and would look OK but.........I would wait till I could get larger tires and at least a 15x8" wheel with 3 3/4" of BS then you could run a 31" tire easy with a 3" lift.

A full spring package lift kit coils, leafs, shocks, hardware from Rustys Off Road (they have very good springs) and they are what counts. All for about $438 plus all American Made including the springs, many kits have springs that are really crap.

I have saw a few 2wd XJ's lifted and looked great, one was white with black steel wheels and 33" tires.

 

Wait and do it right the first time its cheaper and less of a headache.

 

All XJs use the same lift hardware.

 

If you lift it, they will come.


And by they I mean bill collectors because you'll starting spending all your income on Jeep parts and ignore your actual bills.

 

Or you try to get to the credit card statement first before the wife see's it and screams another $3k too those Jeep places

My name is Fred and I have not bought any Jeep parts so far this week.

 

Eh?

Oh good it's only Wednesday. No, I suppose I haven't either...

 

No xj is to old to lift lol
