Exclamation Jeep Lift for my 2000 Cherokee Sport

Hi I'm new to Cherokee's. I'm looking to either put 33s or 32s on my xj. I think if I want 33s i need a 4-5in lift right? And 32s I can go with a 2-3in lift right? Also what are good websites?(Quadratec,Morris 4x4?) Those are ones I know of also ZoneOffroad are they good? Please let me know I know some stuff to work on cars so I'm not a total idiot Thanks Alot

Why do you want 33s or 32s?

I have a 2000 running 4.5 zone lift with 33's and so far its been a great set up! You will have to do some minor trimming with 33's or you could just go with 32's and not have worry about trimming.

thanks for the replys! I'm thinking just go with the 32s. I really dont want to trim but yea 32s will be perfect and a zone lift? How much would one be? Also which brand tires should I get I had 31x10.5x15s on my old tj and it rode great they were falken should i go with 32in bfgs or is there another brand just as good but cheaper?

www.zoneoffroad.com

Again, why are you putting bigger tires? Have you wheeled it yet to see what you think its weaknesses are?

<- 32s will fit on a 2in BB and 33s will fit on a 3in lift. and it will work off road. remember lifting dose not make the wheel wells bigger.

my rig 2in RE BB 32 9.5 TSLs wheeling Trail 2 are Rausch Creek only issues were a few bad moves on my part.
