Finally got my lift installed. What do you think?
I have a 97 Cherokee that i purchased last June. I finally got a 3" zone lift with full leafs and Nitro Shocks. I also purchased IRO Double Shear track bar for it. I had some trouble this weekend with the rear bolts being rusted on but got it all done. It has 31" BFG Mud Terrain KM 2's
It is a little rough riding but I expected that! Overall the jeep turned out well and I am excited to get it out on the trails in a couple weeks.

Thanks man! Well coming soon will be a Tcase drop. It has a slight vibration at round 35 mpg. But after that I plan on trimming the bumpers a little and this spring/summer I will be going for either rock sliders or tcase armor. Just kind of depends on the funds those could all be awhile!
I have lots of plans but not much money! lol

Oh yeah. Xj on 31s and 3in is a really capable setup. That was my first jeep. If I might suggest your next upgrade should be rock sliders with the side rails. Once you hit tighter trails you would be amazed how much they help protect your sides and underneath. They also slight you over stuff that normally caves your rocker panel in and gets you hung up. Been there done that. And at least one locker and you are set. Probably better then most bigger rigs you encounter. Looks good

My first xj was a white 97 sport just like yours except stock ride. Looks at home on the trail! Good looking rig!
