I have a 99 grand Cherokee. I know the Cherokee lovers don't especially care for the grands. Anyways I am all stock right now. I want to keep it as my DD but I wana make it a little more bad *** for driving off road understandably with limits of course. Any ideas of what I could do?

How much are you willing to spend? Some good AT tires would be easy and quick.

What kind of off roading, how often, and how seriously?

Dont want to spend a fortune but willing to spend some money. Just minor off roading nothing crazy or going sideways lol just able to not get stuck easily... If that helps lol not a huge car guy but I love my jeep n want to make a real jeep. Pretty much I got stuck in the snow in a ditch yesterday n dnt want that to happen again lol

I would start with a small lift kit. Maybe a 2 to 3 inch. And then add some bigger all terrain tires. That will make it alot more capable off road but still have decent ride and not cost a fortune.

What should I get for a small lift kit?

SeriousOffRoad, is this a quality setup? Will I get the "death wobble" and will this work with cv joints in the front? I still want a smooth ride for highway and city driving.

It's a 2" budget boost, not a completely new suspension system.

So if I do this my daily driving wnt change but allow some minor off roading? Sry for asking dumb questions but I dnt know much n I dnt want to mess with my jeep much I baby it and it drives like a dream I just wana have some fun with it...

SeriousOffroad

Correct, it's a very small amount of lift that will allow for better clearance and axle articulation.

So I found 4 skyjacker shocks with boots for $145 and Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999-2004); 2" poly spacer lift; Incl. bumpstud extensions.
I think the brand is Crown for $103. Would this be a good budget lift?

yes. a 2" BB would be good for u imo. shocks and spacers. nothing extra is needed for that small of a lift. install it and go.

But do your homework before buying any kit from anyone (yes that includes Serious OffRoad).

There's nothing more frustrating (with regards to suspention mods) than going through the time, effort, and expense only to end up with a crappy ride.

All coil spacers are not created equally.
All shocks are not created equally.
All complete kits are not created equally.
