This is a highly specific question and I am new to the jeeping industry, I recently bought a barely used 1994 Jeep Cherokee 4wd, my buddy has a 2001 of the same model decked out but a blown engine and 2wd, am I able to take his lift and tires and put it on my 1994? He’s got a rubicon express 3.5 inch lift on it, coil overs on front with lower short arms and leaf springs in the back.

I recently bought a 1992 Jeep XJ 4dr 4x4. The guy I got it from claims to have put a 4” lift on it. It’s sitting on 31s. Does anyone have a measurement or pics for comparison I can see? The shocks are skyjacker so it might be a 4.5” lift because I can’t find skyjacker 4” lift or shocks in that matter. Thanks for the help

Max tire size 2000 gc
I was just given a 2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L 2WD...completely stock. My first Jeep. I have a line on a full set of Nitto Terra-Grappler 285/70R17 tires mounted on Havok 106 17X9 wheels. I don't want to do a lift or any cutouts (yet).... They look like they are gonna be a tight fit. Would I be screwing up by getting these tires/wheels?

Ya I have 8.25 in the rear......real low power on freeway climbs.....not a daily rig at all just don't want to put stress on any one given part (trans, motor, driveshaft if wheeling, etc). I was just seeing if 3.55s have been used by a member for sometime and his/her experience.......not a daily and don't wheel often....is it worth the change?

First time poster - Flame suit ready
Hello all!
first time poster here finally picked up the Cherokee i wanted and plan on doing a 3" lift. After reading for many days and hours I realized I wanted a 3" to fit 31s. There are so many options but still i am unsure what is the best option for me.
This is my second Cherokee, the first had a skyjacker kit that i bought that way, it had terrible death wobble and i want to avoid this. The track bar that was installed in it had ovaled out the hole and was a PITA.
Can anyone recommend a full kit ? i was thinking of doing the RE kit but its 3.5" and people say it is much higher not sure i want to go higher than 3", and it seems Rustys does not include all the options.
Would i be better getting all the pieces i would need separately to build my own kit ? if so is there a list of everything you would suggest?
Thanks for your help in advance and sorry for all the questions!
