I think the max a XJ can handle before needing a sye and new drive shaft is 2.5in of lift.. but it might be 3.. With three inches of lift you should be good for 32x11.5's.. you will need new wheels though
You an oilers fan?

Wow was that my first post? I've learned alot since then thanks to the patience and generosity of members such as yourself. I've figured out how to search and find most of the information I need to enhance my xj experience without asking dumb questions like I did before. We all start somewhere.
Troll on brother ..

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! omg i think i just pissed my pants..
While im at it.. Do you guys know how to set the radio's on these cherokees?? Mine just keep smoking everytime i hit the up button.. I figure its just some grease burning itself off the connectors..
What lift and tires and what size should i get to be good offroad and on the street? I also like to pull my brothers 12,000lb twin axle bayliner 500 miles to the lake once a month will my cherokee hold up to that with the lift? I just installed a 1" class II hitch so it should be fine holding the weight.. However i couldnt seem to get more than 2 bolts in each side of the frame rail??? And all they had was low grade so i really wanted to get it done last night so i just went ahead and used low grade.
I really want my jeep to pull good I bought some 4" blocks for the back and shackles to lift it going to reuse and extend my stock shackles should be good made some steel 2" coil spacers for the front to go with my f350 coils i got from the JY think this setup will work??? Oh and i plan on putting on some 52's military tires with the 5" lift anyway i can modify some wheels to be 5x4.5 cause i want to keep my axles my cousin in India has been running the same setup for years and it works fine in Moab but this is gonna be a mud truck so it doesnt really matter thanks for the help sorry for the bad grammar and no punctuation im new here what gears should i get? i just bought som3.07's for the rear and a4.10 for the front should work fine offroad till i change the rear.

Ive given up on the search function... it leaves out too many of the terms Im usually using, so I end up with thousands of erroneous results to wade through.
I dont care how common the word is that entire sentence I just typed together is pretty specific.
I hate this forums search function because it is crap.
