Ughh ill let you know soon first hand. Ive read hundreds of reviews but i just put mine in and waiting for 1 lousy tire to put back on the road. Also you need to cut the pocket of your front leafspring mount/bolt pocket if the welded nut on the inside of your unibody brakes off.

I have a 93 Cherokee with no lift, suspension is all stock. I found some nice graphite liberty wheels for cheap but they are 17 inches. What size tires can I use that won't rub? So far I've been told 235/65/17 is my only option, just wanted a confirmation. I searched but found nothing about 17 inch rims without a lift. Thanks guys.

well it looks like the 8" lift is not gonna happen anymore
the that was going to do it for me is not interested anymore... wel guess im back to the 3"-4" that I'm gonna do, will i require extended bump stops at that lift? im going to do the lift with rubicon express shocks.
Thanks
