Newb looking for advice
Well I just got a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0/5spd.
I'm wanting to build a good daily/wknd warrior.
I'm considering a RC 4.5" lift and some 33/12.5's.
Looking for some input on this setup? This lift or similar setups.
How will the 5spd handle the changes drivability-wise?
Any advice and or pics of this setup or one similar would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

that's the most common setup out there. good height. good tire size
RC is the cheapest company out there. it's not gonna be comfortable and it's not going to last forever.
the 5 speed will feel sluggish with the 33's. your clutch will wear out faster. your engine will work harder to turn the large tires. gas mileage will plummet
but this is nothing to worry about. set it up and work out the kinks/upgrade later!

31s can be run but might rub at full flex and will kill performance. I would personally go with 31s for now because they will probably tuck better and you will still have power. With that said if you want to put the time and money into 33s go for it
