Default Lift kit

Thinking about putting 33's on my 1990 Cherokee what's a good lift to use for the money?

Without too much trimming if any a 4.5" will look good.

That is one of the more popular ones. I just prefer Top Gunz service. You can get that lift from various places.

Depends. Do you want to trim? What kind of wheeling do you do if at all?

You can clear 33's with a 4.5 lift. that looks good. I personally like Rough Country, they not as expensive as others but still have good quality. if you're looking to flex alot, get the long arm lift. if not x flex should do fine.
But while you're at it, a few hundred more bucks, 6.5 LA is a good lift from them. nothing but good reviews i've seen. no trimming needed.
