Would a 4'' Grand cherokee lift work on a 1990 XJ? if so would it be a more like a 4.5 or 5 inch lift? I have the chance to get a lift for cheap and wanted to know if it would fit the xj before i spend the dough... Im sure the front would fit being that ive seen stock coils lift xj but not sure if back of Grand would fit it.. Thanks guys

Back of the Grands are Coils also i think

back will fit just depends on how much you want to weld mod and fab

well I thought they were coils gotta see if hell let go of the rear axle too.... as for the front would it give me more lift then the 4' it gives the grands? I should prob get the brake line too while im at it... what do you guys think? what shocks do you guys run in your xj once you lift em? I use it as a DD but jump a few ditches when i go fishing and play a bit in mud nothing to extreme

The fronts will probably net about 5-6". You have leaf springs in the rear, so no point in the rear coils. If its worth it still, get the kit and sell what you do not use.
You will need new track bar, control arms and/or drop brackets, YJ brake lines etc.

I hope it's the deal of the century, that's going to be a pile of fab work. Buy it ,sell it,buy a xj kit that you know works.

Thats a good one too... I really didn't want to go higher than 4" don't want a rock krawler I like a JeepSpeed Prerunner look without the 7000 suspension......

I think Im going to pass up on it.. I'm already getting it up bout 3 to 4 inches with crap i had laying around just gotta get a nice set of shocks... what shocks are you guys running

Metmknice

I'm running the RC 8000 series shocks, Work just fine..and for 30$/ea Not bad deal.
PM Grimus and he'll hook you up. If I were to go with a better shock would be Bilstein 51xx series

If it's a V8 with a 4" lift you'll get about 4.5", if it's a 4L you'll get 4".

i just got some of the new rough country 2.2 "performance" shocks...

the top ones are the new ones, bottom are the old skyjacker nitro 2000 or whatever... rides much much better with that large piston. I called the guy and got all 4 plus a stabalizer for 220 to fit a 6.5" lift...
i recomend them.. i was going to go with the blisten resivoir shocks but didnt want to dump 500$ lol

Yea grands have rear coils but I have heard people put grand fronts on xjs

xjmarc

Only the V8 versions which give around 1/2 to and inch of lift. I6 models use the same ones as XJs.
