What did you do to your Cherokee today?
I feel ya, not judging, just some friendly advice from someone who's done it. 
I lucked out, I only spent like $55 on my lift total. Made a huge difference on and off road for how big the tires are.

I have 3.5" re lift on 33's and it does great ! I am much more stable on side hills compared to my coworkers Xj with 8.5" of lift on 33's. He try's saying he had more ground clearance then me but I keep telling him its the same cause our diffs are the same height off the ground .

Will surely post pics when she gets the lift...and i cut and folded the rear about and inch and a half, and the front was trimmed about an inch or two(not positive the front was trimmed when i got the jeep).

First of all let me say..........the R/C XJ is AWESOME!! I have a Traxxas EMaxx I'd love to find an XJ body for.
Secondly..........I've been hoping for some snow to go wheeling in (this being the first winter since I bought my XJ and all) this year but, it's not looking too promising. The average temp all week has been 45 for the low and 70 for the high.

Just don't want one opinion to be taken as fact.
