Post 2000 cherokee sport 4wdr lift

i was wondering the lowest suspension lift that can be put on a 2000 cherokee sport and fit 32's. i was told there were 2 and 3 inch lifts but they were body lifts which i do not want to do. I think 4 inch is the shortest suspension but im not sure.

There is no such thing as a body lift for a Jeep Cherokee because its a Unibody truck. If you wanna wheel it and willing to trim I ran 3.5" lift with a 33" a/t tire that measured 32" and loved it. Personally If i wanted to run 32s i would do either 3.5"-4.5" lift. You can run less lift but you will need to trim your fenders.

I've got a 3'' Rough country lift, Series II.

Fit 33's, Tucked the rear Fenders,
and chopped the front (I'm sure you'll do a better cutting job then me..
Don't drink & cut)

if i were to put bigger wheels on my jeep for trails nd mudding I would defiantly lift it more than 2" and risk having to cut most of the fenders off
