Need Help Making my Mind Up.
Ok so i am really looking into lifting my 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport. But I am only 16 and working with an extremely tight budget. So i have been doing my homework; researching all the brands i can, comparing prices, and taking in all the help I can get.
So I decided to ask one more (Well a lot more) person/people on this site to help me make my mind up about which lift i should get, and finally just buy one.
As of right now i am looking at Rusty's Off-Road 3" Add-a-Leaf Suspension kit http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ode=sus_xj_kit
Or the Pro Comp 3" Suspension lift http://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Lift-Kits-Je...t_pn=EXPK3058B or the Zone 3" suspension lift http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=34&gr=-1.
As of right now and all my number crunhing for the Rusty's lift i am looking at about 359.74 + Shipping, and for the Pro Comp I am looking at around 605.54 + Shipping, and the Zone Off-Road I am looking at around 384.64 + Shipping.
Help me make up my mind please!

Usually a rule I found is that the pro comp is very good but also very expensive. I have a lift. Of 3.5 inches and it ran me 350.00 online. Plus tires it is a good lift. U can always upgrade ur lift so I would go within ur budget. I'm 17 and I'm always adding to my jeep. My shock covers even match my jeep. My lift is a suspension lift with bushings up front and an add a leaf in the read with the spacer for the swaybar and stuff like that.

None! Bastard pack, find some lift coils on sale w/wo some spacers if you need them then some shocks and you're pretty much good to go depending on which bastard pack you do.

What I did was piece it all together over 6 mo - a year, bought my leafs and bushings, then when I got enough cash I bought the coils, you could probably even buy spacers if you wanted, then my shocks and so on.
That way there you get the best that you can, so you might look goofy for a couple months with your a$$ in the air, who cares.
By going only 2" a SYE probaly won't be neccessary along with many other parts plus you can run your stock shocks for a while till you get new ones. They are cheaper than you think. But do it right the first time and you have a nice platform to build off of. Oh give http://dpgoffroad.com/ a call they will steer you in the rght direction with out selling you extra uneccessary stuff an at the timeI bought my junk they happened to be the cheapest.
