...just subscribe to it (using thread tools), and turn off email updates? Works for me.
...you guys point to so much crap almost every day that I find so useful I end up subscribing so I won't lose it (or, like this thread, I have to pokey my way through because it's so long, and has so many tid-bits just in passing that I don't wanna miss).
Hmm. And you can use google to ONLY search cherokeeforum.com. Go to google and enter site:cherokeeforum.com what I'm searching for in the search box. That will search ALL the threads ...everything ...in the entire forum. You can locate everything posted under your username, even. Works for other sites too. Pretty useful.
Er ...just in case: "what I'm searching for" should be the words you want to find. Like my last search was site:cherokeeforum.com upcountry shocks xj ...and that gave me pages of different threads, all from Cherokee forum. And I just tried site:cherokeeforum.com cog and that thread was at the top of the google list. Just FYI.

I run Kendas on my wheelchair. Didn't know Kendas used to be cheap. I have a set on my mtn bike and spares for my road bike too.
No clue about the 31" truck tire though.

I am looking to buy a 3" lift kit for my 95 sport but want to retain as much of the on road handing as possible as i have heard some lift kits can make your jeep handle like a boat and i dont want to spend a fortune.
Any ideas would be great.

Which would you guys recommend the 2-2.5 or 3-3.5 OME ultimate hybrid kit running 30 or 31 inch tires with stock rims and without cutting/folding the fenders. If any of you have the kit some pictures would be greatly appreciated.
