Or if the OP is not trolling, as long as you're not taking a cobbled-together mess passed 40mph on the road then do as you please. You're gonna find that it's a huge pain to get this all properly set up without a lot of work and good parts but we all have to learn some how.

Agreed. I didn't mean to discourage this in any way. I always look at things from the safety aspect first.

From a safety aspect absolutely. I discourage the over lifting of vehicles all the time. But it can be done right, unfortunately very few people take the time. I keep my distance when I see them driving down the freeway

Its what winter is for, to build and keep myself busy when not in class or at work or out riding the sled.
its definitely not a dd, and will more than likely be towed places, but I still want to keep it street legal imcase I have too...
Plus I already have all adjustable lcas, longer trac bar, may need some trimming or adding on to make it a touch longer, and steering shpuld be a fun one to figure out... I ordered 7.5 coilstonight and will throw those on with my 2" spacer and see if its too much and how well or well not things line up, itll be a deciding factor on whether I want 9.5 or 7.5" of lift.
I was just simply asking on how much people have stuffed into drop brackets

so you're not gonna drive it to work every day. what's the point of having the tallest Cherokee in town if no one sees it?

hope you've got something beefier in mind for the one tons. I don't really get why you'd want to do this to yourself it's a can of worms. and being that tall off road is actually very detrimental unless you're into mudding. if you're dead set on being up in the clouds, take a look at how this guy did it. he's the man

Yea ive seen his build and read it and checked out the guys he rolls with, all veey sweet, and it will get driven around town decently but its not no daily driver. Hell yes itll be mudding.. itll never be washed unless something breaks, and a can of worms is what I want. One big oroject to figure out how to and why. So why not?
