Hey guys I have a question you guys probably get all the time. Just like what’s the best beer. Anyway, I bought a super clean 2001 Cherokee Limited so it’s got every Bell and whistle. It’s my daily driver and just being that it’s very capable for the light off trail I do get time for. Mostly light off road and car camping. I want to upgrade the suspension but nothing major or over the top. Looking for basically a upgrade from the stock suspension. It’s pushing almost 200k miles so like most XJ’s the rear is sagging some. Any help on brand or size to upgrade rear springs and up front new shocks and coils would help greatly.

You can do a 3" lift without having to upgrade a bunch of other stuff. Zone, Trailmaster, Rusty's, and Rubicon Express make decent 3" lifts for the price, get the full leaf springs instead of an add a leaf, and avoid Rough Country.

I’ve been eyeing the Old Man Emu 2.5 inch lift from dpgoffroad.com
every camping / 4x4 / Cherokee forum I’ve been on has sang Dirks praises at DPG.

Old Man Emu lifts are way overpriced.
