I drive through State College a lot and they tend to not be so friendly with stuff like that

 

The more I think about it, I may go with option 1.5:

3" Zone lift, 30" tires on stock painted rims, and a lockright. Should be around $1350. That is about the most I want to spend right now.

 

Higher the lift more money you will spend. Im gonna vote against stuffing too big of tires on a non lifted Cherokee. Personally if i just wanted a more trail friendly DD XJ i might go with a 3" lift and 31s w/ trimmed fenders. I dont really like Long shackles and spacers. But thats just me.

 

3" lift and higher your gonna want an adjustable track bar to ensure proper front axle alignment and prevention of death wobble.

 

Ok, I never said to ditch the flares tho. You can remount them after you trim, you just mount them higher. Its really simple. A few folks have done it, I saved mine just in case I eant to toss them on sometime.

Never suggested stuffing too big of a tire on the rig. I was using 33s as an example.

And if you have a 3" lifr you won't need to trim. Your contradicting yourself alot.

Not exactly. You CAN redrill the axle side mounting hole and successfully align the axle under the truck. And being slightly off won't cause death wobble. My adjustabke trac bar pushed the axle too far causing it to be 3/4 of an inch off. No death wobble.

 

Ok first of all
1 stop telling people to run 33s on non lifted trucks thats absurd.

2 a jeep cherokee xj with a 3" lift and 31x10.50 tires with factory fender flares most likely rub when you turn the steering wheel all the way. ( and i dont want to hear about how bumpstops will prevent that)

3 if you want to drive a lifted xj without an adjustable track bar. Go for it. Its up to you. In my opinion its best to have precise front axle alignment, but again, if you want to go without it, thats up to you.

 

You sound like a idiot.....

 

Oh yeah. Totally man. Why dont you say that to this A$$ clown stuffing 33 in tires on a stock cherokee.

 

Well, good sir, I ran 31s with no rub on my 3" lift. Personal, first hand experience.

I never said I would run without an adjustable trac bar. Mine was adjustable, but it was too long. I was merely pointing out that you are wrong telling people that it will cause death wobble. Because you are wrong. Period.


And obviously you know nothing about what your talking about. 33s on no lift is very possible. Members here have gone with even larger tires than 33s, with great success, ON NO LIFT.

So why don't you go ahead and EXPLAIN, WITH SOLID FACT, that my info and suggestions are indeed "absurd" as you claim.

 

Here, educate yourself, junior.

Again your an idiot.
I have 33's on my Tj. It's stock.
I had 35's on my XJ. At 3.5 lift.
I'm going to build a XJ on 42's with no lift.
So a$$ clown you are the idiot. It's called being unique. Not looking like the pavement princess you drive.

 

Cool story bro. I didn't say you CANT put 33 in tires on a stock cherokee. Personally i dont understand why anyone would want to do that. As for the track bar i clearly stated its recommended if precise front axle alignment is important to you.

 

Just for the sake of the argument...


Tj on 2" with 42's looks awesome!

 

Yeah, its clear you do not understand. Its very clear this is an abundance of information that you do not understand.

Now go ahead and keep back pedaling your way out of here.

And feel free to come back to this thread when you can share some good, knowledgeable, intelligent information.

 

Thats fine man. I dont have any problem with you guys running whatever setup you want. Its just that when the original thread here was someone asking about a 2-3 in lift with 30s or 31s. All i did was suggest a basic daily driver basic setup. And for the record my " pavement princess " has had the snot beaten out of it.
