The 98 to 01 cherokees look like they came higher from the factory than the 97 and down.....Or am I smoking something?

 

Pretty sure it's the same. Springs may be in better condition though

 

i agree, i have always thought that

 

X2

 

i think im gonna go with the lift you suggested, i slept on it, researched it, an canceled my order with quadratec and im going to order one from rustys tonight

 

I've heard good things about the rusty's BB because it's a full leaf, not a short leaf.

I believe your going to need u-bolts as well. Not sure if it comes with the kit or not.

 

i think i have enough room on the u-bolts i have now

 

No, you HAVE to replace you u-bolts. NEVER re-use a set of ubolts...

 

oh... i hope they have em in the shop then cause i dont wanna have to track them down

 

Are you installing this, or having a shop install it?

 

im going to have a shop do it because i dont have half of the tools i need and i dont have half of a clue what im doing lol

 

Oops.....glad the 2 separate mechanics that I know told me they were fine to reuse -.- put new grade 8 nuts on but now I'm worried about them. Add it to my list of needed parts...

 

Does anybody know how that Rusty's 2in add a leaf holds up sagging wise? I may try this setup.

 

I park my stock height 95 next to a stock height 2000 quite often, and the front is the same, his rear sits about 1/4-1/2" inch higher. He also has 80k less miles, so im guessing its just that older ones tend to have more worn out springs.

 

I've always been told to absolutely never re use bolts, especially stock that have been on for 10 plus years. It was something about how they react when they're tightened correctly and once you take them off they aren't as strong/won't stay tight. It's just cheap insurance. I think I payed $35 shipped for my ubolts.
