Alright guys, i have an 89 cherokee and am looking for the best lift for flex, i would like to go for a 4.5 inch. Any tire size suggestion with this? I am assuming some trimming in the fenders and run 33s. I have a 6.5 Inch rough country but i have not installed it because i dont have the extra cash for the longer drive shaft and sye right now. I am tempted to keep the 6.5 inch and save up for a little while an get the parts needed. Let me know what you think!

I think you should keep the lift that you have right now and just buy a sye and then just use a front shaft instead of like a tom woods shaft. That's my .02

Not all states allow recaps. Va doesn't allow then in the front.

That's a federal code that prohibits recaps on steers of commercial vehicles. Each state has it's own laws regarding POVs.

Tirerack.com will mount and balance for free when you buy tires and wheels from them.

I did a 3" lift on my xj, and now the rear diff has oil on it, it's not dripping but it is weeping, would a 1" tcase drop take care of this? Or do I need to replace the seal?

They will fit on 10" wide rims, hell they'll FIT on 8" rims but I would not recommend the 8" the 10's will work fine
