Yep. This seems right

 

Auto zone doesn't do out like that.

 

Then try somewhere other than vatozone.
Seriously. You call any offroad or "truck" related shop everything is listed by lift amount. Or you know.... google it.
See your problem is asking a bunch of tards at the "zone" for parts

 

30 seconds on google.....

Yeah I guess I shouldn't leave it to tards. Thanks.

 

Done! - I completed the passenger side in the early evening (didn't get started until 4:00P or so). Even took it for a ride, cross town, for pizza and a brewski.

I didn't break any bolts; I didn't strip any threads. I modified the JK shocks to fit without too much issue.

I didn't even smoosh any appendage. Not once. (I did get a headache from the penetrant fumes lol.)

My quickie measurement are approx. 19 inches center-axle-to-flare both front and rear (a half inch more than I expected from reading spec sheets ...maybe those stiff JK Rubi shocks made a bit of difference???) ...so I ended up a bit low in the front. But - unless someone tells me I'm in dire need of a half inch spacer up there, stat! - I'm calling it good (until I get a winch lol).

I'll have better measurements, and before-and-after pix tomorrow (maybe).

 

Nice man post up some pictures when you get a chance.

 

Has anyone ever put 33's on a stock cherokee? Would it be possibly to drive around town like that until my lift is here?

 

You'll need offset wheels, and you'll need to to a decent bit of trimming and bumpstopping

 

I've done it for a couple weeks...like Xj88 said, offset wheels, trim and bumpstop and you'll be fine.

 

Your '85 wouldn't have the 4.0L. You have the less common and less loved 2.8L Chevy V6. Or you could have the 2.5L 4cyl.

Swapping in a 4.0L I6 is easier said than done. You would need at least the motor with sensors, exhaust, wiring harness, and firewall modification. Probably a new radiator and related cooling, and I don't know about your transmission.

 

Had a typo there, its an 89. Looks like i'll probly just keep the 4.0 then. Is it a strong motor? Did u have any info on the leaf springs?

 

I smashed my 4.0 into a tree at 40mph and its ok.

 

Lol, safe to say its tough then.

 

4.0L is a fantastic motor. They can certainly take a beating. I've overheated mine over a dozen times (due to faulty components) Even drove it on trails for half a day with a broken water pump.

For leaf springs, there is a ton of info. We call them bastard packs when you use springs from another vehicle. Dakota, Durango, and S10 are popular for that, but Explorers and older F150s would also work. Anything that has springs sprung-under-axle that are 2.5" wide. That's the cheapest way to lift the rear, and it's very effective. It just takes more time.
