I have 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4 door automatic 4.0 2 and 4 wheel drive. I wanted to do this for a long time add a lift kit I know a bit about cars but new to modifying a Jeep so I need advice.I dont want to go too crazy.I think about 3 inches unless there are better kits for 4 inches.I think everything is original I had the truck sitting in new york for the last year and a half started it took it to my mechanic did maintenance changed a few hoses and brought it down to Houston Texas 1600 miles.I am going to be changing all the shocks and springs and probably control arms stabilizer and what ever advice on parts I should change when doing a lift kit I could get here.I dont need the most expensive parts.I wont be riding it too hard just a weekend beach truck.I hope I posted in the right place I could not find a new thread button.
Thanks for your help

Good thread to post on buddy. The picture I posted above is a great reference for your plans. As far as WHO makes lift kits, there's quite a few -->

Thanks. This was one of my biggest concerns. If I go through a big box tire store I can get a decent warranty that would cover sidewalls. That being said it's still a quick way to ruin your day.

I had a 3" lift with 33x12.5R15s and it ran fine with stock gears. It lost a lot of it's pep but I wheeled and DD'd it with no problems. I now have a 6" lift running the sam size tire but with 4.10s and lockers. It makes a world of difference! It really comes down to how fat your wallet is and if it will be ridden more on the trail or the blacktop.

Verify that. I've never seen a shop that warranties offroad use, and cutting a sidewall is hard to explain any other way

Sears. That's why I bought my red labels through them. I specifically asked the man. "If I leave here and take it offroading slash all 4 tires doing so, will the warranty cover that." He said that their warranty covers anything as long as the tire is still identifiable

As much as I dislike the company Discount Tire will warranty any type of damage if you pay the extra $$ for their "road hazard" warranty. I asked one of the guys working there last time I got tires from them and he said I could slash my own tires and they will replace them.

Hey yall, soon to be a new cherokee xj owner here. I probably won't be doing much wheelin and this will be mostly a daily driver. I want to increase the handling as much as possible while keeping it stock height. I've located shocks (Bilstein HD) and Front/Rear sway bars (ADDCO). Are there any aftermarket coil/leaf springs I could install to increase handling without changing ride height? What else would you add to increase cornering/handling?

Cherokee 4" lift
I recently ordered a 4" lift I however didnt get an adjustable trac bar yet im going to order one but dont have the funds for one right this second. My question is I see a lot of people redrill the trac bar mount an inch over or something along those lines will this suffice for a few weeks until i can get my trac bar? Thanks in advance.
