New to the forum and jeep ownrrs list, I want to lift my cherokee but I dont want to spend alot. Open to suggestions and was wondering if I would need anything more than just lift, new shocks or any unseen affected parts.

Go for coil spacers new shocks and blocks and shakles...thes cheapest u can get

Mb84

Do I need adjust trac bar or new drive shaft for only 3 inch lift

UsmclovesXJ

No u won't need q drive shaft.

Cheapest is a budget boost. They come as tall as 3" but the 2" is pretty sufficient. From There the JY is your best friend, find the write up about which suspension parts you can interchange to get the desired lift. Just no that if you bastard pack it, she's not gonna ride the same.

What's your budget?

Mb84

The cheaper the better, my wife would kill me if she found out, we share the jeep and she doesnt want it lifted, I figure 2-3 inches she wouldnt notice

Mb84

Usmcloves mentioned blocks and shackels, if I only go two inches do I need blocks or will shackles suffice

Xj88

Oh god...good luck with that haha..would you be able to do the work yourself?

Xj88

Honestly if you can manage spending a tad more avoid shackles and blocks...blocks especially..shackles can angle things and really take a toll on your leafs...are your leafs sagging currently?

Mb84

No, I lucked out bought a 2001 with only 30000 on it two years ago, great shape no sag just replaced front shocks with run o the mill napa shocks

Gee oh Dee

Stay away from blocks. Shakles are best.

Mb84

Do I need to worry about the steering or anything if I go 2-3 inch max

Xj88

No..I know you replaced the shocks but you still may wanna check out rustys aal...it comes with new hydro shocks and excellent coils...rustys uses a long add a leaf so it is designed to be more durable

Gee oh Dee

Relocate the front brake line bracket a bit lower by drilling a new hole.
