So here goes my first post. I recently puchased a 92 Jeep Cherokee Laredo as a nice project for me and my wife. She knows a lot about fixing up cars but apparently not too much about tire sizes. So she surprized me by getting 255 75/R17's for the jeep since the tires we got it with were completely bald. Problem is those tires were 255 60/R17's. So now the front tires are rubbing when ever you turn about 80% or more (and that's without the weight of a front bumper). This means my lift kit needs to be ordered a little sooner then expected. I'm looking for something in the range of 4.5"-6.5" of lift and I don't plan to go higher the 33's for the tires. I want this to be a vehicle that I can drive around town, on the highway, and still do some nice off roading with. But I'm having a hard time finalizing my decision for the lift kits. Right now my 2 front runners are IRO 5.5" Critical Path Long Arm Lift Kit and Clayton 4.5" Long Arm Lift Kit. Of course this doesn't mean I'm not willing to look at other options. Also my budget is to try and stay under $2500 which the Clayton kit is dangerously close to without shipping costs.

I dont support either of those kits for the quality of IRO or high price of clayton. go with 4.5 and trimming for 33's
look into rubicon express on 4wheelparts they're really low priced.

If you have the money clayton and rokrawler are top notch companys

Hey ill show you what I have picked out for a 5.5" lift. All the parts are top notch and under your budget.

i have the 4.5 rough country SA kit and im gonna upgrade to long arms. i cut the fenders but i rock crawl an it rubbed alittle while turning but i am way satisfied with it.

Scott0821

Their tres suck. From what one read I would not recommend RC they are cheap for a reason

Scott. Thanks for the list. How are those parts treating you? Is there anything from that list that you would upgrade or change?

Scott0821

No problem! And I haven't bought them yet lol. Bit from all that I have researched everything that I have picked out are top quality, especially the track bar and the shocks. I have heard great things about rubicon express lift items, such as the lead and coil springs. The long arms that I have listed are actually sold by a vendor on this forum and I have heard great reviews from those long arms. The only thing that I have listed that could be upgraded is the junk yard tie rod. I don't really want to shell out a hundred or two for a tie rod I can get from the jy that is stronger than stock. Also I am unsure about the shackles. They looked like good quality and adds an inch of lift. Might want to do some research on shackles. Hope this helps!

Tres????

Tie rod ends perhaps?

Scott0821

Yes, tie rod end. RC is infamous for supplying bad tres leading to death wobble. Here, check this out: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/ro...d-ends-134419/
