Default My New Cherokee!

I just bout a 2000 jeep Cherokee classic. It has 185,000 on it and has a very solid frame (unibody)... There are a couple rust spots and the passenger floor board needs to be replaced. I have installed a rustys 3 inch lift, rotors, brakes, brake lines, tail lights, and a sub. It was owned by an older guy and never seen dirt.

x2

cragar soft 8s seem pretty popular on here as far as wheels go. id suggest 31 inch tires, as that seems to be the norm with 3 inches, unless you want to cut up your fenders...

Ok thanks... My sister has a Jeep Wrangler so I but her spar on the front of my jeep... It has a 13 mm offset and it is like a 30.5 inch tire... For some reason if rubbed on the plastic when turning right and left! That made me mad cause everyone says with a 3 inch lift that 31s will fit

I trimmed the plastic end caps because they were rubbing with the new rims. There is a seam that ran up towards the jeep that I followed with a hack saw. Mine was a 3 inch kit, did you get add a leaf?
