So I came across a 6inch lift that comes with springs leafs and adjustable track bar and a few other lil things but what are the other main things ill need to have a ghetto sketchy lift

A good understand of drive line angles. You might get some binding in your drive shaft u-joints and horrible drive line vibrations unless you understand how to fix it. There's tons of information out there.

Well I was figuring on transfer case drop and custom driveshaft atleast right?

SYE is probably a good idea at that height

You will need an sye... No question about it... And you'll need shims.

Drop pitman arm too possibly....

jeeper jason

Control arms? If nobody mentioned that also

NewJerseyXJ609

That's pretty obvious... Just sayin lol

jeeper jason

I thought an SYE was at that height too but hey

Besides suspension parts (shocks, coils and leaf springs, ect.) you'll need:
Brake lines
SYE
Upper/Lower control arms
Pit man arm drop
Trac bar
Sway bar dico's
And either a t-case drop or longer drive shafts with cut and rotated axles (someone correct me if I forgot anything or am wrong anywhere)

With a sye you'll need a custom driveshaft... 100%....at 6 inches No doubt about it you'll need a sye tho...

Why go with that much lift in the first place...?

Just curious....

wtf is cut and rotated axles???????????...lmao

also curious as to why you think you need 6" of lift.

Well, cut could refer to the the axles being shortened. And rotated could refer to a passenger side drop axle being flipped to be a driver side drop

I believe he is thinking about cutting off the axle C's and rotating them for proper caster and driveline angle. Usually not a need on stock axles and that lift height. You also CAN NOT just simply flip a passenger side axle to drivers side. Tires would rotate backwards.

You dont need an expensive customer driveline to run an SYE. Pick up an SYE for 170 bucks then kit the junk yard and pull a stock front driveline out of another cherokee. Measure your needed length then check the lengths of the drivelines you are looking at. Different transmissions and 2 door verse 4 door have come with different length drivelines.

You will want at the minimum, control arm drop brackets because your control arms are going to be at a horrible angle. I personally would suggest a long arm upgrade kit, 3 or 4 link is best.

You really need to upgrade your steering if you expect to do anything with the rig besides cruise around on pavement and even for that the minimum would be a drop pitman arm. At that height I would suggest skip the drop pitman arm and go strait for over the knuckle crossover steering. Pair that with an over the axle track bar and you are set for the hardest of wheelin.

Tell us more about this "6" kit" that you found. Price? Manufacturer? There might be something out there more complete and cheaper in the long run.

Maybe it's not called that but I was referring to adjusting the caster angle

And around this hight it'd probably also be a good idea to do at least a rear axle swap if you have the D35

Lead Foot

Height doesn't dictate needed axle strength. Tire size does. If you are going over 33s then atleast upgrade to a 29 spline 8.25.

You WILL get horrible vibrations and wear through u joints like crazy without an sye
