I lifted mine because I'm somewhat of a gear head, just as my dad had hoped I would be. Also, I live in an area where being lifted 3-6 inches and 4wd is a good idea....(trees falling on roads, high waters)

And I love to find fishing holes, but alot of the times they're blocked by rocks or fallen tree's. Also, lifted XJ's just look plain cool!

Because wheeling in a stocker sucks! (no offense guys)
I simply, couldnt go to/in the places I wanted to, in a stocker.

And I couldnt agree more with the OP...

Because Cherokee's look horrible with no lift and stock tires, like a station wagon, couldn't wait to get the BB and 30's on when I got it.
