No you can run that basic kit just watch your brake lines or bend them like I did

are you gonna wheel it or just dd it? might need to look into relocating your front brake lines and extending the rear line. might need to drill a new hole for the track bar also.


Edit: DANGIT WILL!!

I got a 96 Cherokee 2 door. I would like to put some wrangler wheels on it.

http://images.craigslist.org/3Gf3M33...32565c1fb6.jpg

like those.

The current tire size is P215/75R15. What's the max rim/tire size I could fit stock? Are there any jeep wheels that would fit my current tires so I wouldn't have to buy new tires?

Them wrangler wheels are the wrong bolt pattern.

Would an adapter not work? What years would have the right bolt pattern?

An adapter would work. You where worried about buying tires so I figured you wouldn't want to drop $200 on a good set of adapters.

I could buy new tires if completely necessary, and I guess I need to anyway. Thanks

Quick question: I'm lifting my 89' 2" using "Rusty's XJ Cherokee Budget Boost Spacer - Add-A-Leaf" kit and adjustable shackles to even it out. Will I need/benefit from a steering stabilizer for $35?
